Instead of walking the tightrope of "being perfect" try being self-compassionate instead
I’m excited to share my guest post for Sharon Martin’s blog, Happily Imperfect, on Pysch Central!
Striving for perfection can increase anxiety because it’s an impossible task.
Being mindful of our internal response when we make mistakes and bringing more self-compassion into our lives when we’re imperfect, can reduce our stress and anxiety!
Check out the blog post, Embracing Your Imperfections Can Reduce Stress and Anxiety. And if you would like to be learn how to be more mindful and self-compassionate you can check out my mindfulness group beginning in October. There are a few spots left and early enrollment discounts are available.
