| 0:00.0 | Hi friends. Welcome back to the show. I hope you're having a great day today. This week on |
| 0:10.7 | Self Care Daily, we are talking about the messiness of life, tuning in to our own inner perfectionist |
| 0:18.8 | and giving ourselves permission to make more of a mess and to embrace |
| 0:24.1 | the imperfect beauty that is our day-to-day life. What I want to do today is to spend a little bit |
| 0:31.4 | of time to tune into the energy that you are holding inside of yourself when it comes to |
| 0:37.4 | doing things right. I'm talking about |
| 0:41.2 | your inner good girl, that person inside of you that just wants to get it right all the time. |
| 0:48.3 | That doesn't like to be wrong. That doesn't like to color outside the lines, that really likes a plan, that really wants |

| 1:58.2 | that everybody does, but we're making a mistake actually feels a little bit like the end of the world. |
| 2:04.2 | Do you have that relationship? Do you have that thing going on at work, maybe? Have you spent a lot of time creating this image of yourself where you do everything perfectly all the time? |
| 2:17.4 | And you're spending a lot of energy upholding that vision or that view of yourself where you do everything perfectly all the time and you're spending a lot of |
| 2:18.7 | energy upholding that vision or that view of yourself or do you have another part of your life |
