Embracing imperfection is the only way to make sustainable change. It’s also the most compassionate path to get you there. Forming new habits is just as much MINDSET as it is PRACTICAL change. Two sides of the same coin. A non-negotiable min
The way you speak to yourself TODAY is deeply connected to the way you learned to cope as a child. If your younger self had to be tough, shrink themselves, or constantly strive for approval to feel safe, that critical inner voice that you’re d
Take a look at the last slide for some example scripts on how to work with this difficult dynamic. When we’ve had early emotional injuries, it can feel really scary when the people we are closest to are upset OR when we are upset with them. I
