On today's solo episode, Caro dives into a very common pattern among all perfectionists... a 0-100 approach AKA going all in on something and putting a ton of pressure on yourself, and eventually dropping it if you miss a day, make a mistake or feel like you failed. Caro explains the reality of this 0-100 pattern and why it tends to happen, leaving us feeling like we're losing progress, falling behind, or constantly needing to start over from scratch. She shares tips on how to release this pattern for good and create a better approach that works for YOU through a focus on smaller goals, building things up more slowly, putting less pressure on yourself and developing more self compassion whenever you 'miss a day'. ---------- FREE AFFIRMATION LIST: https://stan.store/innergrowth/p/free-affirmation-guide-r5tpe MY 5 MINUTE MANIFESTATION JOURNAL ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/Manifestation-Magnet-Gratitude-Attraction-Manifest/dp/B09V39JYBP 1-1 COACHING INFO: https://www.innergrowthcollective.com/1-1-coaching More info is at our website: https://innergrowthcollective.com Follow our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/innergrowth.co/ More resources at: https://stan.store/innergrowth If you enjoyed this episode, you can head over to Apple and leave a written review, or to the top of Spotify and leave a lil rating!
