perfectionism

 

 

In this episode Gia and Karen address the issue of perfectionism and how it can destroy our creativity. They’ll share some personal experiences and cover these topics:

  • Nature is filled with chaotic creativity that is perfect in its own way
  • Our feeling that we are not enough causes to identify with what appears to be perfect externally
  • Marketing and advertising exploit our fears of not being enough in order to sell to us
  • Waking up consciously helps us see through the illusion of perfection
  • The ego longs to be perfect because it hasn’t met the Soul yet
  • Tips for coping with perfectionism:
    • Start before you are ready
    • Don’t overthink projects
    • Set short-term deadlines
    • Be done when you are done – don’t keep rehashing a project
    • Set a clear intention for each project at the beginning

Episode 9: Am I Good Enough? How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

Posted on by kwyattmd

Today Gia and Karen discuss the universal tendency to compare ourselves to others. There will always be someone who accomplishes more than us, has more wealth, better luck, or less suffering – or it least it seems that way. They share their own struggles with comparisons and how they are still working to overcome that tendency. You’ll hear about:

  • how the ego seeks rewards for accomplishments and clings to expectations (which is a set-up for disappointment)
  • we are each on our own path and get the lessons we need in life
  • other people become mirrors for us, helping us see where we need to love ourselves more
  • we need to appreciate what this life offers us instead of wishing for something different
  • the Galaxy view helps us see the perfection in everything
  • the keys to overcoming the pain of comparison are love and trust: love yourself more and trust that Universe is giving you exactly what you need
