The Inner critic and The Higher-self

hearing 2 voices in your head? yes... I know it sounds mad...but we have 2 voices (some of us may have a few more...Patrica made me do it) and many of us wonder which voice to listen too? When I was offered a modelling contract to one of the most prestigious curve model agencies in London , one voice was so complimentary and cheering for me! and knew that this was where I was meant to be- she was speaking to my soul saying this is the beginning of something magical. Then the other voice suddenly chimed in....
"you should stick to your day job, you have such an amazing career you are corporate trainer , and you are only 21!! that is such an achievement in itself, modelling is too tough, you need to be a certain type of person to be a model and that person is not you ... its not the right time maybe look at it again in a few years you're, just not ready now "
Sadly I listened to the second voice...
I always wondered why I gave up on such great opportunities? and stayed safe? why I always felt this spark and urge to be MORE but only settling for the same? it drove me fucking mad!
I chose the sensible option every time, the option with less risk , backed by everyone elses approval, but deep down I knew I was living a lie, I was living for others.
What are Intuitive downloads?
An intuitive download is a sudden, deep inner knowing or insight that feels like it comes through you rather than from you. It often arrives unexpectedly...like a clear thought, vision, phrase, or idea, and feels aligned, profound, or even divinely timed. EVERYONE gets them, and yes YOU get them! (dont try and tell me you dont becuase all humans do so unless you are a creature from another planet reading this...Just accept what I am saying to you)
This is what happens , when your mind is relaxed...say ,maybe when you are in the shower? or doing the dishes , mowing the lawn , what ever... a little magical thought pops in to your head
"why dont you start up a business doing ...." The voice sounds like your voice? so maybe its just a thought you say to yourself? when you think about the thought for a split second it has a spark, it lights you up, it feels sooooo right in your body.
This my friends... is an intuitive downlaod from source (the great almighty , God , Spirit, universe ...which ever name you resonate with) HOWEVER what happens next? The inner critic comes barging in and convinces you otherwise! It tells you why it's a bad idea, makes you feel like a piece of shit and then scurries back in to its hiding place. Can you just imagine how many "Million Dollar" ideas you have had and then immediately dismissed?
The Inner critic is your ego which is part of your subconscious mind , it doesn't mean to be an asshole. Its primary goal is to keep you safe...and that involves STOPPING you from doing new things...because new things = unknown = danger = stay the fuck away.
Which voice do I listen too?
This was one of my BEST "Aha!" moments- learning to listen to my higher-self/Intution and not my Inner critic, To realise that inner critic DOES NOT get to control my life.
I will always remember the day when I Finally said NO to the inner critic and boldly ran towards my dreams of creating The Mindset Model.
Rewind back to December 2024 I kept getting this feeling, this thought , this spark - all day every day it kept saying
"you need to be seen, stop hiding away, you need to share your gifts with the world" I mean- this does sound so cheesy BUT it would not go away! until I made the decision...I am CHOOSING to step out of my comfort zone, as if by magic (because magic is absolutely real) all of these synchronicities kept showing up. A book called Be Seen by Jen Gotlib...she was calling me the fuck out, I actually felt like she was talking too me through her book!
A reading from celebrity psychic medium Katie Heliwell ...
"This is a big year for you in terms of allowing yourself to be seen. There has been an energy within you that is wanting life to change. You’re ready to step forward & accept the next level. However, you are also holding back on being fully seen"
Stepping in to my Queendom
I feel like a Queen every single damn day, because I taught myself how to distinguish between my Inner critic and my Higher self , I allowed myself to be seen, unapologetically. To fully embrace who I am just as I am. and my mission? is for you to feel the same!
So the next time you hear that voice in your head, ask yourself-Is this my Higher Self or my inner critic on a loudspeaker?
One wants to see you fly.The other just wants to keep you small.
Your Higher Self is the version of you that already knows you’re worthy. She’s not shouting-she’s guiding. Gently. Calmly. Brilliantly.And the more you listen to her, the louder your life will become-in the best possible way.
So here’s your invitation:Turn down the critic.Tune in to the Queen within.And choose to rise.

With you every step of the way, Love The Mindset Model xx
