Hey there! This week I begin with my tea talk (lemon tea in an astronaut mug) and a life update about my week off, another physics dilemma, a testimony of improvement, and the music I\u2019ve been studying to. I dive into perfectionism by acknowledging the inspiration for this episode, Sam Laura Brown, saying that I will speak from what I have seen in others and myself, and that a lot of us are perfectionists. Then, I explain what I thought perfectionism meant, and what it actually means, which made me realise I was a perfectionist! Next, I get into the all or nothing mindset: I state that it\u2019s a perfectionist tendency, a popular saying we hear derived from it, how it holds us back from consistency, and my solution to it. Afterward, I focus on self sabotage: how this is another perfectionist tendency, an example, how this links to the all or nothing mindset, and that it stems from insecurity and limitations. Continuing, I share how perfectionists expect things to be effortless: what this implies, a personal example, and what I learned from that. I wrap up with the idea that perfectionism limits us. In my favourites I include a podcast, online creator, and playlist, then I sign off!\n\n\nTO GET DIRECTLY TO THE CONTENT, SKIP TO 10:18\n\n\nFOLLOW THE PODCAST\u2019S INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/theasteapodcast?igshid=r04b2760fkdl\nCONTACT ME THROUGH: theasteapodcast@gmail.com (for business inquiries, sponsorships or to tell me what you think about this podcast!)\nSEND ME A VOICE MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/th351a-beaury/message\nCHECK OUT THE DESIGNERS OF MY COVER ART: https://instagram.com/sofiarrublacreative?igshid=1xtsd1w69zkkl\nhttps://instagram.com/cuerpobaldio?igshid=1jq5cb59nm2z\nSTART YOUR PODCAST NOW BY HEADING TO anchor.fm\n\n\nCHECK OUT THE THINGS I MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE (IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE):\nListen to my episode titled \u201cI\u2019m scared for all of this to end\u201d (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/2KX7lag2OTGTPrgWRlacsq?si=6JoIBuI2QvK_2dP1_UMP5A\nListen to Sam Laura Brown\u2019s podcast, The Perfectionism Project (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/5QAsL8roKR67O1GO2LiXvS?si=oPJuHAyITW2debF5TfMFwg\nListen to the Extra Dynamic podcast (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/5m0e6Ap064nsQXJo0VspNA?si=6yK-teHNSduvnQRdld-ySA\nCheck out Orion Carloto\u2019s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/OrionCarloto\nWatch Orion Carloto\u2019s YouTube video about a morning in her life: https://youtu.be/8NxolTUwQTo\nListen to the ChilledCow Spotify low fi hip hop playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6jUXWvAQhTMFyPECJGJmoX?si=RJsVcsy-TkKzA8WNnQIIRA\n\nHERE ARE SONE QUOTES I LIKED FROM THIS WEEK\u2019S EPISODE:\n16:44 = \u201cThe all or nothing mindset basically comes from perfectionists limiting and restricting themselves to thinking that life is black and white\u201d\n18:48 = \u201cPerfectionists are willing to close doors on entire experiences in our lives because we\u2019re scared that they will damage our image\u201d\n19:59 = \u201cSometimes we have to learn and set ourselves up to not excel\u201d\n20:33 = \u201cAs perfectionists, we can live in a rut where we\u2019re not exposing ourselves to new things because we\u2019re so scared\u201d\n21:46 = \u201cThis all or nothing mindset keeps us from consistency, and consistency is doing things more often than not\u201d\n24:28 = \u201cNow it\u2019s all or something instead of all or nothing\u201d \n26:33 = \u201cYou\u2019re scared to fail, so you manipulate things in your favor, so that you don\u2019t have to confront that\u201d\n28:40 = \u201cI think that all the self sabotage comes from insecurity and limitations\u201d\n29:26 = \u201cWe essentially hold ourselves back in fear of not being 100%\u201d\n31:26 = \u201cWe think that we\u2019re so good at everything, that everything in life will just fall into our laps\u201d\n31:52 = \u201cPerfectionists think they\u2019re living in this dream where everything will just magically happen\u201d\n35:08 = \u201cThings shouldn\u2019t be effortless\u201d\n36:57 = \u201cPerfectionism will limit you\u201d\n\n\nThanks for tuning in, have a beautiful week!
