Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I hold myself to a standard of basically never making mistakes, so every ordinary slip-up feels like a defect in me
- There are parts of me
- I catch myself in the mirror and the scale and feel awful no matter the number, and I’m tired of my self-worth riding on how I look
- I’m so used to managing how I come across that I’m not even sure people know the real me
- I catch myself dressing up the same excuses again, and I’m done softening it
