Softening The Edges Of Perfectionism: SOS (With Music)

Perfectionism can block our access to happiness, ease, and flow, sometimes leaving us feeling stuck, anxious, or trapped in a spiral of shame or procrastination. This short practice offers a quick reset for the nervous system, inviting clarity in mind and body through a gentle repetition of lovingkindness phrases.

This is a practice you can come back to at any time when you need a little extra support in breaking out of an active pattern of perfectionism, or need a little extra support in recovering from a mistake. It is a great supplement to the longer Breaking Free from Perfectionism meditation offered on my profile here on Insight Timer. This practice features background music from Chris Carter to further support ease in the body.
