WHY THIS WORKSHEET

Inner critics are internalised beliefs — often inaccurate, mostly incomplete.

They make us feel like imposters, convince us we're not worthy, and keep us so safe we don't even try. The surprising part: they're trying to protect us. The intention isn't the problem — the method is.

In 10 minutes, this worksheet helps you:

  • See your inner critic clearly — what it sounds like, what it's protecting you from

  • Give it a name — this allows you to become the author of your inner narrative

  • Question your inner critic's strategy — the precursor to changing your self-talk

WHO MADE THIS

This worksheet was created by Anton Zemlyanoy — a leadership coach with a master's in psychology who helps leaders, founders and creative professionals master their self-talk.

I first learned to work with my own inner critic — and have since been helping professionals shift their internal dialogues across 2,000+ coaching sessions.

  • "Anton's questions turn me back to face my own self. I began to hear myself. I've already had personal wins over my own blocks that stopped me from moving forward."

    — Uka, Creative Director
