Episode 24 - The Dark Side of Self-Improvement
On this week's podcast I look at the dark and harmful side of the whole 'self-improvement' concept.
I explain how it can create a very vicious cycle that undermines your self-worth, self-trust and self-confidence.
I show you what is keeping you stuck there, and how to break out of it, so you can start loving yourself where you're at.
Whenever you set goals or make plans, do it not from a desire to 'fix' or 'improve' yourself.
Those are the worst reasons because they simply reinforce to your brain that you're broken.
I explain how to set goals in a different, much more compassionate and fun way, at the end of the podcast - and I invited you to also (re)visit Episode 18, which is all about this process of goal setting.
