Do you often tell yourself you've done something wrong or not good enough? I hear this from clients. "I didn't get quiet enough for my meditation." "I'm not sure if what I heard from the animal was accurate." "I wish I had done this differently." I didn't ....you fill in the blank. I get it. I used to be a perfectionist. My goal was to be as good and perfect at whatever I did as anyone could possibly be. I must be the best. If I didn't accomplish my goal as planned I would be disappointed … [Read more...]
