Busting Perfectionist Fantasies Body You Crave

    • Health & Fitness

A perfectionist fantasy is a fantasy about being perfect, because you erroneously believe that if you were perfect, then you’d create the results you want. 
So for example if you stick to your diet perfectly then you’d lose the weight and have the body you crave. (And you’d finally be happy, proud, confident - all the feelings you think losing weight will give you.) 
Logically we know we can’t be perfect, and yet we still create these grandiose plans as if one day we could be... only to end up beating ourselves up later when we don’t measure up. 
Striving for perfection, yet never being good enough… that sh*t’s forking exhausting! 
Listen in and I’ll show you a better way. 
What’s in this episode:

Why creating perfectionist fantasies is our favorite hobby. 
How to break the cycle of perfectionist fantasies and the trap of tomorrow.
How perfectionist fantasies show up in my life and the lives of my clients.
