Stop and listen to your mind for a moment. How do you talk to yourself? Is it with kindness and encouragement? Or are your inner voices full of judgement and fear? We all have demons: voices in our heads that criticise us and hold us back from being fulfilled. But, if we don’t take time to identify them, how do we confront them?
