Zero F**ks About It

We all have that voice that whispers or sometimes screams doubts, insecurities, and negativity into our ears. It's the inner critic, the resident gremlin in the mental real estate we call our minds.

This voice can be paralyzing. It tells us we're not good enough, that we'll fail, and that everyone judges us. It thrives on fear and insecurity, holding us back from taking risks and pursuing our dreams.

But what if we told that voice to shut up? What if we stopped giving a sing f**k about its negativity.

Here's the thing: you can. It's not about silencing the voice entirely because that will not happen. It is about detaching from it and refusing to let it control your actions.

Here's How to Give Zero F**cks About Your Negative Inner Thoughts

Identify the voice: The first step is becoming aware of your inner critic. Notice the patterns. When does it show up the most? What kind of things does it say? Once you identify it, you start the separation.

  • Reframe the narrative: Don't believe everything your inner critic tells you. It's a drama queen with a superiority complex. When it starts with its negativity, challenge it! Is it really true, or is it fear talking? Reframe those negative thoughts into something more empowering.
  • Acknowledge and move on: Sometimes, acknowledging the negativity is enough. You don't need to engage in a full-blown debate with your inner critic. Thanks for the input, and then move on with your day.




  • Focus on the Facts: The inner critic deals with emotions and worst-case scenarios. Counter it with facts. What evidence do you have to support your inner critic's negativity? There's little. Focus on your strengths and accomplishments.
  • Develop self-compassion: We all have negative thoughts. It's part of the human experience. Please don't beat yourself up about it. Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a friend.
  • Celebrate small wins: Focus on progress, not perfection. Every time you silence your inner critic and take action, celebrate! This reinforces positive behavior and builds confidence.
  • Remember


Giving zero f**ks about your negative thoughts isn't about arrogance. It is about self-belief, trusting yourself and your ability to navigate life's challenges, taking back control of your mind, and refusing to be ruled by fear and insecurity.
