The Power of Persistence in Pessimistic TimesWe have all heard the phrase “don’t take no for an answer” but when it comes to our well-being, healing, personal growth and development we take “no” for an answer all the time. No, you can’t fully heal trauma. No, you can’t ever heal an addiction. No, I really am NOT good enough. We can be persistent in business and relationships but still wholeheartedly give up on ourselves without even noticing. In today’s episode, you’ll learn:-How we learned to be persistent in life and why our own personal thriving feels like the exception. -How to harness the power of persistence to impact your own life positively. -A short S.H.I.F.T. Model™ practice to connect with the parts of you that believe you are a lost cause, or that it’s selfish to take good care of us. Because those parts are doing their best to keep us safe, and they need our compassion. If you’re ready to discover the transformative power of befriending the parts of you that feel entirely unworthy, then this episode is for you.
