43: Letting Go Of Perfectionism & Accepting Ourselves As Perfectly Imperfect

2024-12-2341:05

Today I’m talking about perfectionism. How I discovered I had a bad habit of perfectionism when I was younger and despite trying to address it, it remained a longstanding and often unconscious habit. And yet around 2019, my inner self started helping me understand perfectionism through my love of nature – in particular my love of trees and forests. And how slowly but surely I started understanding where my perfectionism truly came from, how to let go of it, and how to start loving and accepting myself as “perfectly imperfect” and OK just as I am. . . .

38: Acknowledging & Valuing Ourselves and Our Own Energetic Contributions

2024-11-2149:08

Today I'm asking: are we acknowledging and valuing our own selves and our contributions? The things we do and "be" as our own unique selves? Our own unique energy. The person we are right now in this moment. Not what we hope to be. Not what we wish we could be. Simply ourselves as we are in this very present moment. "The us" that makes us ourselves. I talk about how important it is to stop and do this. And how it can help us in so many ways. . . .
