Are you a perfectionist? If we imagine this person, we think of the Doctor, type A, everything is organized and sorted to “perfection”; but we are referring to another type.
“Perfectionism is not the same thing has striving to be your best. Perfectionism is the belief that if we live perfect, look perfect, and act perfect, we can minimize or avoid the pain of blame, judgement, and shame. It’s a shield. It’s a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when, in fact, it’s the thing that’s really preventing us from flight.”
Whoa, let that one sink in. Are you trying to be something you're not? Trying to appear a certain way is something that is all to common.
On this episode, Olivia and Amy discuss how they relate to this. What’s more important is how YOU relate to this. Do you exhibit this in your life? Let’s get together and chat about being our true selves shall we?
Stay Nasty.
