How to Stop Striving and Enjoy Life More!
episode summary
Learn how to stop striving and chasing perfection so that you can enjoy a more satisfying and fulfilled life.
It is easy to get trapped into a cycle of striving, working hard for goals that are always just out of reach, and then continually criticising and driving yourself even harder.
Many clients come to us exhausted and unhappy because they want to step-off this relentless hamster-wheel of striving.
But when they begin to understand they are already good enough and that they don’t need to strive for perfection, they can often lose their sense of purpose and motivation and get bored with life.
So what’s going on here? Is it possible to stop striving, accept we are already enough AND be truly fulfilled in life?
In this teaching, we answer your questions.
