You're Bad Really Really Bad
Jun 05, 2025
Critics.
God bless ’em.
And I don’t mean the ones offering advice to lift you up.
I mean the ones who want to reach your level…
by dragging you down. ⬇️
Next time someone says:
“You can’t do it.”
“Who do you think you are?”
“You’re not good enough.”
“You’re bad.”
Agree with them. Immediately. Effortlessly.
Like it's the most obvious thing in the world.
Not because it’s true —
Because it’s so ridiculous, it deserves a ridiculous answer.
“Oh totally. Didn’t you know? I am the worst.” 😈
Watch what happens:
No resistance = no power.
The critic fizzles out. 💨
🔥 BONUS: This also works on your own inner critic.
Next time your brain whispers,
“I’m bad.”
Think and/or say out loud: “Yup. So bad.”
It’s like poking a hole in a fear balloon. 🎈
The air rushes out. You realize how silly it is.
I was reminded of this recently by my fantastic coach, Carolyn Freyer-Jones.
So FYI:
You’re bad. 😎
So am I.
Really, really bad. 🕶️
