Let Go of Perfection to Let Go of PMDD

from Mindfulness for PMDD with Diane · host Diane DeJesus, RD, CLC, IBCLC

So much of my resistance to PMDD came from trying to maintain the charade of perfection that I'd been trying to keep up my whole life!Mindfulness and Acceptance taught me to be present, not perfect. That the full spectrum of emotions is normal. That the aim is not to feel better, but to get better at feeling.And here's the crazy thing that happened when I let those ideas in...not ONLY did I feel so much better in my life with PMDD, but I also, finally, felt willing and able to open up to other challenges I'd been resisting my entire life!In this episode, I reflect on a recent interview I did with my first mindfulness teacher, Nikki Wilson. I thought I had lost the episode and wanted to capture my experience and my thoughts before the memory of it became diluted in my mind. Good news though: the files were saved and that interview will be featured in an upcoming episode!So, listen in as I discuss how my mindfulness and acceptance journey has helped to break me free from the impossible (and thus, never-ending) quest to be "perfect"...and get it all right...and not make mistakes. (Ugh, just thinking about it is exhausting!)Connect with me!DM me on Instagram @mindfulnessforpmddFREE Meditations for PMDD for You from Me!
