237: Letting Go of Perfectionism with Three Solar Plexus Healing Practices
What if you didn't have to accomplish anything to be worthy? In this episode, we take a deeper look at healing the Solar Plexus Chakra and the patterns of perfectionism, achievement, and proving that can keep us constantly striving for "enough." We'll explore three practical healing practices: learning to embrace good enough, redefining success around your values rather than outcomes, and learning to receive without feeling like you have to earn it. We'll also move through a short guided meditation designed to help you release the pressure to prove your worth and reconnect with your inherent value. If you're tired of constantly striving, improving, and accomplishing (and still feeling like you're not quite enough!), this episode is for you.
