Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches

Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life.

Oh, Loh how welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. Today we are talking about relaxing anxiety around imperfections.

And I thought it was a great topic for today being today

is New Year's Eve Eve, and often we start on New Year's Eve to look back over our past year and make

our plans for the next year, whether you do resolutions or goals or even if you don't do any of those things, it is often a time, a great beautiful time to sit back and look at what the year before had been about

and maybe some changes you might like to make.

And I often see that the idea of making changes can fall into

a red zone of being hard on ourselves, wanting to do maybe too much, biting off too much,

or being hard on ourselves for what we didn't accomplish the year before.

to just talk a little bit about imperfections

and how that causes us anxiety and extra stress because this imperfection,

accepting imperfection is one of the key components to getting out of an anxiety disorder or get out of panic attacks or to

reduce PTSD and get out of that because we have to start accepting.

So all of these things are very much tied into each other but today we're going to talk about

relaxing our anxiety around imperfection. And I read a wonderful little

newsletter from an author that I truly love, Dr Rick Hansen, he wrote The Buddha's Brain, which is actually a look at the

neuroscience of happiness. And he is very grounded down to earth psychologist who I appreciate his

views and yeah he talked about this I don know, one of his newsletters maybe a couple of months ago.

And it really struck me as something that we deal with with our anxiety, our anxiety disorders.

Everyone has anxiety, but those that are stuck in the loop of it
