Summary

Does self acceptance mean no self-improvement? When do we lean into self-development practices and when do we just accept ourselves as we are? In this solo episode, Krista shares tangible steps on how to balance self-love + self-improvement because—spoiler—the two ways of being can co-exist.  When you love yourself, there’s a vibrancy to your energy that supports you to live a productive life, i.e., you might give back to your community, spend your free time in nature or leave an impact on your family and friends.  The idea that we need to control or manage who we are, so that we don’t overeat, spend an excess amount of time on our phones or stay in our homes for days on end is interesting to think about and a topic Krista doesn’t hold back on.  We also talk about: The spiritual ego  Mindful eating + being present What it means to be in control Befriending the manager part of us How to be self-accepting  Scheduling in time for complacency Celebrating through the process Understanding perfectionist tendencies Being mindful of self-loathing or hate Resources:  Instagram: @itskrista Website: itskrista.co True Essence Retreat | A 4 night, 5 day transformational women’s retreat in Ibiza, Spain from October 4-8, 2023.
