"You Are Enough Just As You Are!" YourCreativeChord Podcast episode 2 (Part 2 of 2) features my conversation with my guest, Dr. Tara Sanderson, a “Licensed Psychologist, Author, and Clinical Supervisor in Oregon.” Dr. Sanderson has been “helping people learn the skills to live their best lives” for more than 20 years.Our conversation is relevant for those who struggle with perfectionism, overachieving, anxiety, depression, and “the inner critic.”Sanderson breaks down the process for writing, editing, and publishing her book, including why she opted for hybrid publishing. “Through international choices, you are enough just as you are.”“Be non-judgmental, on purpose, and fully present.”“This juxtaposition of feeling like what you are going through, who you are, and how you navigate the world is too much. And yet you’re not enough at the same time.”“It’s not because of intentional choices or because you’re working really hard that you’re enough. You take off all those chains and those shackles of ‘too much-ness’ and ‘not enough-ness’ by just feeling confident and comfortable with the decisions you are making. You are enough.”“The Mindfulness ‘SOBER’ tool = Stop. Observe. Breathe. Examine Options. Respond.”“Take time before your decision, pause your auto-pilot to match your decision with your values.”Checkout her book, "Too Much, Not Enough A guide to decreasing anxiety and finding balance through intentional choices." at:amzn.to/2NWSRB9Read my blog,"How To Decrease Your Anxiety & Live More Mindfully; An Empathetic Perfectionist Helps You Balance Your Life," reviewing her book here:https://www.yourcreativechord.com/inspiration/how-to-decrease-your-anxiety-live-more-mindfully-an-empathetic-perfectionist-helps-you-balance-your-lifeFind Dr. Tara Sanderson on Twitter Instagram Facebook and through her website, https://www.drtarasanderson.com***Join me at YourCreativeChord to get empowering ways for nurturing creativity and inspiration:https://www.yourcreativechord.com/getinspiredhere.htmlIf you enjoyed this podcast--Please LEAVE A REVIEW here! --Even one sentence helps! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yourcreativechord-nurturing-creativity-inspiration/id1467240333&ls=1Consider including your Twitter or IG handle so I can thank you personally!This is a podcast by YourCreativeChord.comCreated/Produced/Hosted by Jenny Leigh HodginsContent & Music © 2020 Jenny Leigh HodginsGet empo
