* boundaries
*self-protection

Stop labelling the things you don't like about yourself as flaw and shortcomings.  Just because you wish something was different about yourself, doesn't mean it's wrong, weird or broken.   Logically, we know we're not seeking perfection, but many of us are carrying invisible standards and expectations in our own heads that say "yeah but you should be doing better. You should be doing more.  You should be getting it done faster.  The way you are is not okay.  This is the voice of perfection.

Today I'm sharing some thoughts and strategies with you that will help you unhook from perfectionism, self-attacking thinking patterns and step into more ease, flow and peace instead.

Ever feel like maybe if you could just toughen up,  care less, or be less impacted, that you could totally fix things and everything would be okay?

A lesson I'm still learning is to soften when the world wants me to toughen up, to treat my emotions as important sparks of data and information, instead of character flaws and personal shortcomings.  I have wasted years of my life in relationships, situations and workplaces that were really not good for because I was living with the subconscious belief that I should just be able to take responsibility for the whole mess and make it work.

So if you have been trying to contort yourself into a different you, or trying to turn off what you feel, listen to this episode and try trusting your instincts a little more instead.

When do you it owe to someone (or yourself)  to try to talk it out or explain your position, and when is it okay to just walk away and let it go?

There's so much talk in the therapy and personal development world that says "just talk it out," but there's times when I believe that this advice is counter productive, potentially damaging or just an unnecessary use of your time and energy. 

Listen into today's episode to hear more about the times when I feel totally justified to just let it go instead of trying to make it work or share my thoughts.

I believe that you can't control what happens to you but you can change who you become.  And this is mostly true for me.  Loss has changed me in some ways that have been very intentional and some that have just sort of happened to me, that I know how to manage and work against. 

I'm simultaneously braver AND more afraid of everything.
I'm more loving AND l put up with a lot less than I used to.
I'm more conscious and aware.

If you are a grieving parent, who would like to come connect with other parents who get what you're going through, this invitation is for you.

We're doing a virtual mini-retreat this Sunday Jan.29.

It's a free offering from my heart to yours.
