Episode Notes:

Triggers for a perfectionist.

Not wanting to let people down.
Having trouble delegating tasks, because you feel that you are the only person who can get it done correctly.
Feeling like if you take a break you’ll fall behind.
Not enjoying hobbies because you don’t feel you are good enough.
Procrastinating because you don’t feel ready.
Revisiting text messages repeatedly before hitting send.
Having a fear of failure.
Thinking you are only going to happy when you reach your finish line or complete your task.

Ho'oponopono for Self-forgiveness

To practice ho'oponopono, take five minutes and take a few deep breaths with your eyes closed. Then, slowly repeat these phrases to yourself.

I love you.

I’m sorry.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.
