You don't lack motivation, and you haven't lost your creativity. 

That inner critic is just killing your creative flow.

Your mind stores memories and thoughts using qualities called submodalities. Think of it like a movie screen inside your head. You don't just hear your inner critic; you hear it at a specific volume, a specific tone, and coming from a specific direction. Because your brain coded it, you have the power to edit it.

In three simple steps, this beginner-friendly session from Melancholy Coaching will show you exactly how to silence that inner critic and unlock your creativity.

The Inner Critic Problem

SPEAKER_00 0:06

You sit down to create, write, or work on your business basics, and suddenly a voice inside says, Who do you think you are? This isn't good enough. Sound familiar? That inner critic is killing your creative flow. Hello, I'm Fran, your NLP and business coach, and by NLP I mean neurolinguistic programming. And in this session, I'm going to show you how to literally edit that noise out of your head in three simple steps. At the end of this session, I'll give you a quick mind hack to instantly launch yourself into deep focus whenever you feel stuck.

Submodalities And Mental Sound Design

SPEAKER_00 0:50

Your mind stores memories and thoughts using qualities called submodalities. So think of it like a movie screen inside your head. You don't just hear your inner critic, you hear it at a specific volume, tone, and maybe coming from a certain direction. Because your brain coded it, you have the power to edit it. And all of those little bits and bobs like the specific volume and the area it comes from, they're your submodalities.

Step One Locate The Voice

SPEAKER_00 1:23

Step one is to locate the physical position of the voice in your mind, which I know. Just go with it, okay? So close your eyes for a second if you feel comfortable to and notice exactly where the critical voice comes from. So is it the at the back of your head or maybe over to the left? Identifying the current direction of the sound is the essential first step to gaining control over your inner critic. And if you're not entirely sure, go with what your gut's telling you. Because it's usually right. So step two

Step Two Move It Away

SPEAKER_00 2:00

is to physically move the location of the voice out of your head. So here we go. So mentally slide that critical voice all the way down, all the way down. Take it down to your big toe. Moving the voice to a ridiculous and distant location instantly breaks its power over you and over your creative mind. I appreciate that this potentially sounds a bit bonkers. However, I I've tried this myself. I don't think you ever overcome it, but you learn tools and techniques to live your best day. And this was one of mine. And also, I just want to say that to elevate your business further, I've created a template bundle, and you can download it via the link in the description. No cost, no catch, it's it's literally just some templates that you can use.

Step Three Make It Ridiculous

SPEAKER_00 3:07

So step three is to change the sound, the sound qualities of the voice to alter its impact. So make the sound make the voice sound like a funny cartoon character, or maybe something squeaky, like a little mouse or a squeaky balloon. Now try and take it seriously. You'll find it's almost impossible because you've recoded your brain's relationship to the thought. And this will start to make sense. It will.
