Many of you have shared with me struggles around unrealistic expectations or struggling with choosing progress over perfection, so today we are talking about feelings and how they relate to self-compassion.
Our feelings are how we experience our lives; they are relevant and important to notice, and even more important to learn what to do with them.
Perfectionism doesn't drive us to be better; it causes us to feel inadequate.
Jay Shetty shoots for something like 80% in order to publish.
Jody Moore aims for B- work.
If we are aiming for the fantasy of perfection, we will never complete anything or contribute what we can to the world. It's not about being complacent or not caring about our work; rather it's about giving ourselves the gift of completion, the gift of continuing on, the gift of self-compassion and being willing to be seen.
In this episode you'll hear an example of how to walk through the processing of a negative emotion, in a way that helps us experience our lives with new confidence, through self-compassion.
Learning how to feel and being willing to feel is the biggest confidence booster! Self-compassion is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves.
