The critic in my head can really be a pain in the butt. I think it's the thing that not only blocks creativity and judges too harshly, but it also looks back at mis-steps and thinks 'I could have done this or that" in a way that doesn't allow the idea of growth. It compares me unreasonably to standards of perfection. There must be some aspect of this that serves me, it may be the key to freeing myself from it if I can figure out what that is.

Whenever I start to measure where i think I'm supposed to be, I try to swing it around to the feeling of gratitude for how far I have come.

Read an article that someone sent me about radio only wanting to play (and over playing) tunes that were familiar. This creates a catch 22, in order for original tunes to be heard on the radio they have to be familiar, but how do tunes get 'familiar' unless someone hears them? hmmm.
