Alex and Meredith are dissecting a topic that affects us all - the myth of perfection. It's extremely important to recognize that everyone has their own challenges and struggles, and that it is okay to not have it all together all the time. There's a difference between maintaining and pushing in regards to priorities, and we have to be kind to ourselves by giving ourselves permission to take a step back when necessary. Self-compassion, curiosity, vulnerability, and connection are all qualities that can help us navigate difficult moments. Passionate anti-perfectionists who adopt a more "work in progress" and "good enough" mentality, Alex and Meredith also explore the impact of social media on our perceptions of perfection and the unrealistic expectations they can create. — The Canada Day Holiday, Working from Home, & Auto-responders — Why Perfectionism Is The Worst— The Myth of Perfection— Pressure to Have Everything Figured Out— Allowing Vulnerability & Compassion— The Toxicity of Social Media & Only Seeing "Success"— Work in Progress & The Belief that Good Enough is Good Enough— Investments & Returns— Doing Something is Better than Doing Nothing— Complete > Perfect— Don't Go Hard— Self-Compassion & Being Human— 'Good Enough'Resources Mentioned in This Episode:The Growth Equation Podcast with Brad Sulberg & Steve Magness "160 -- The Attention Economy"Move Your BusHow to Win Friends and Influence People by Dave CarnegieCan't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds by David Goggins ────────────────────────────Want to work with Tactic Functional Nutrition? Check Out Our ServicesLearn More About Us Here and be sure to follow Tactic Nutrition on IG!Stay in the loop with us by signing up for our email list!
