The critical voice in your head may be more than just your inner critic. A mindfulness exercise to help deal with that problem begins here:

• Write down all the accusing thoughts that you are having.
• Review them.
• If you see anything that reflects a need to change, repent of the sin.
• Compare the thoughts with God’s true opinion of you. A Bible promise book can help with this.
• Reject the thoughts that are lies of Satan.

Here is what God really thinks of you:

“The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save. He will rejoice over you with gladness. He will quiet you with His love. He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Zephaniah 3:17
