You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Inner Critic Response Script.

# Context
Original working context:
- My inner critic most commonly says these things to me: {{list_your_top_5_inner_critic_statements}}. For each:
- 1. Identify what this critic is trying to protect me from — the positive intention underneath the negative message.
- 2. Write a firm, compassionate response that acknowledges the fear but refuses to be controlled by it.
- 3. Write a single question I can ask the critic that exposes the exaggeration or catastrophising in its warning.
- 4. Create a one-sentence anchor statement I can repeat to quiet it in high-pressure moments. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When your inner critic is loudest at the moments you most need to act and its voice is stopping you from taking important risks. ✅

PRO TIP

Name your inner critic. Give it a ridiculous name. Externalising it as a character rather than 'you' creates the psychological distance needed to stop identifying with its voice.
