Perfect is an empty but enticing promise. Unfortunately, in our pursuit of perfection we often focus on everyone else and abandon ourselves in the process.

I often think of an image of a person walking a tight rope because for many of us that’s how it feels when we’re in “perfectionist mode” – walking a thin unsteady rope across a vast emptiness below.

This is part two of our conversation on perfectionism. In this episode we’re talking about mindfulness-based tools, strategies, resources, and exercises to help address it.

Topics covered:

• Fixed vs growth mindset
• The value of self-compassion
• Cultivating “shame resilience”
• Helpful tools including: meditation + mindfulness, gratefulness, values alignment and the serenity prayer
• Exercises and journal prompts
• Tons of helpful resources

Resources mentioned in the episode:
