Episode Notes:

Triggers for a perfectionist.

• Not wanting to let people down.
• Having trouble delegating tasks, because you feel that you are the only person who can get it done correctly.
• Feeling like if you take a break you’ll fall behind.
• Not enjoying hobbies because you don’t feel you are good enough.
• Procrastinating because you don’t feel ready.
• Revisiting text messages repeatedly before hitting send.
• Having a fear of failure.
• Thinking you are only going to happy when you reach your finish line or complete your task.

Ho'oponopono for Self-forgiveness

To practice ho'oponopono, take five minutes and take a few deep breaths with your eyes closed. Then, slowly repeat these phrases to yourself.

1. I love you.
2. I’m sorry.
3. Please forgive me.
4. Thank you.
