Human Doings And Human Beings (Season 3)

Doing more, constantly putting myself out there, saying yes to every opportunity, cradling every tangible and intangible experience like an Olympic medal. I believed these things will get me exposure, accolades, recognition, and sales, but in reality, they brought on stress, depression, frustration, more emptiness, and anxiety I was conditioned to do for acceptance and validation from when I was a baby. That’s how I got noticed and seen. Not for who I was (or who I was being).

Thank you Tami. The coping mechanisms of the false self sounds very familiar. It's been exhausting being a perfectionist. And Thankfully I'm letting go of having to be a high achiever. But I'm 62! Well better late than never. Getting external validation and striving was about 'survival'. Understanding the 'whys' and having compassion for my very young self helped. It's been a long journey and I'm grateful for all the help I've had. This included one elderly colleague gently explaining to me, when I was 24, that I was allowed to make mistakes. I've never forgotten it.

What a powerful talk. I could relate to everything that you were saying. As soon as I stop listening to it I mediately replayed it so that your messages would be further absorbed. Thank you for sharing so much of this. It is helped me become more aware of and have more compassion for my own chasing of external validation.

Definitely needed to listen to this today. Great talk!

Very wise words. Thank you Tami. 💜🙏🏻💯
