EP197: Reform Perfectionism
If we\u2019re not careful, perfectionism can slow us down and bury our potential. There has to be an easier way. This episode talks about how you can reform perfectionism.
I completely love reading something, whether it\u2019s an article, book, or social media post, and it strikes a chord as I\u2019m reading. For example, I have a friend who has a history of struggling with her weight and body image. She posted on social media her revelation of finally accepting her fuller physique, including brave pictures of herself in all her glory. It\u2019s inspiring.
I\u2019m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP197\u2019s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. My friend\u2019s post struck a chord with me when I think about my relationship with being a perfectionist. It was useful sometimes and draining during other times. At each phase of our life, we can appreciate the capabilities and the abilities available to us at the time. Let\u2019s celebrate our current capacity.
On our Wise Walk, we discuss how you can reform perfectionism. You can find a more flexible approach to achieving your True Stride. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:
-
Where in your life are you holding yourself to a high, unattainable standard?
-
Where can you release that tension?\xa0
-
Where in your life are you being critical because you\u2019re comparing yourself to others?
-
Where can you let that comparison go?
Give yourself the grace and space to set a new standard that honors your current capacity. Imagine how much better you\u2019ll feel and more you\u2019ll get done when you let go of your rigid and unattainable standards.
Join this inspiring community to uncover a new sense of freedom, and be sure to follow and review the True Stride podcast as we continue to exchange our light and Heart Value with each other.
