I used to be proud of calling myself a ‘perfectionist.’ It was like one of those things I would say in job interviews when they ask, “What is your biggest weakness?” And I would spin it to say that I just have really high standards and love delivering high quality work.I didn’t realize what other effects perfectionism would have on my personal well-being. The fact that having impossible standards for myself added so much unnecessary weight and stress on me and my work. And how the self-criticism got worse the more I thought I had to be perfect.I’m excited to share this episode with another recovering perfectionist, Kendra Lee, a writer and self-love coach who embraced the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi to help her find relief and love for herself. We talk about how it’s helped her in her life personally, while finding the intersection of those ideas with the ideas of emotional intelligence.-------------------------------------Timestamps:[[[[[[[[[[-------------------------------------Resources:Learn more about Kendra and Wabi Sabi: http://wabisabihappylife.com.-------------------------------------Subscribe to get your free list of 11 Emotional Resiliency exercises and to get updates on this podcast and blog at http://victorung.com/subscribe.Become a Patron to support this content: http://patreon.com/humanup.Clap for me on my blog on Medium: http://medium.com/@victorung.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/victorung/message
