Sarah #40: Doing Your Personal Best","description":"Sarah acknowledges being in a constant battle with herself because of how she wants to hear feedback from others for things she has done. She has a hard time accepting praise; and, she doesn\u2019t mind constructive criticism if it helps her grow. Doug helps her make sense of getting comfortable without having feedback be the validation. Doug and Kenzie break down external versus internal validation and the drive to be perfect versus doing your personal best. They discuss what it is to be good enough and how \u201cmeets expectations\u201d isn\u2019t a negative thing. Striving for perfection is about doing your best, which can be \u201cgood enough\u201d if we allow it to be. However, many of us feel that we\u2019re not doing enough unless something is done perfectly, especially when there\u2019s a historical experience of criticism and an internal voice in our head constantly criticizing us. What does doing your personal best mean to you? Can that be good enough or does it need to be perfect?   Doug\u2019s Group Therapy Practice YMB Webpage   Join us on Social Media: YMB The Facebook Group YMB on Instagram YMB on TikTok Mentioned in the Episode: Link to Rapper\u2019s Delight from \u201cHappy Feet\u201d Link to \u201cSpinal Tap\u201d These Go to 11 ","author_name":"Your Mental Breakdown","author_url":"http:\/\/www.yourmentalbreakdown.com","html":"
