Ep. 77, Is "holding yourself to a high standard" actually working against you?
Description
I used to use the phrase, "I hold myself to a high standard", often. This was a really nice way of saying I was extremely hard on myself and if it wasn't perfect, I didn't feel good enough.
While this can seem like a motivating phrase, it often leaves us feeling defeated, comparing others standards to our own, and constantly criticizing ourselves and our progress.
Today I'm sharing a reframe of this statement that will still allow you to show up for yourself fully, while shifting your focus from your shortages to your values. It is a simple perspective shift that will support you in making more progress, while acting in a way that is aligned with you and your goals.
