I talk about how my insecurities led me to hitting a mini rock bottom. I talk about the ways I was tested, and the old pattern and triggers that came up (so, so, so many of them). I believe that the universe tests us when we are up leveling in our lives as a way to see if we’re ready for the new things it has in store for us, so it’s no surprise that I was challenged as much as I was BUT that doesn’t mean it was easy to overcome. I talked about what that looked like for me this week, and the lessons about control and perfectionism I was able to pull out of it.

Can you relate to what I was feeling this week? Feeling like you want to control everything to go perfectly so that you can feel worthy? Email me or message me on instagram so we can talk about it!

At the end of the episode I mentioned a couple of blog posts that helped me overcome my struggles this week. Here they are:

How to Challenge Thoughts that are Causing Your Suffering is about 4 questions that liberated me from the downward perfectionism spiral. You can check that out here.

I referred back to the book Loving What Is to help me remember that we can reframe our thoughts so they stop causing us suffering. I wrote about the lessons I took away from the book in this article, How to Stop Suffering As Told By Byron Katie’s “Loving What Is”. You can read that here.
