On stress: when good enough is enough

Why are we so hard on ourselves?  If you know the answer to this question, please do share.   I struggle with this in my own life and see the theme of "not enough" show up time and time again in patient care. Dear ones, sometimes you are not supposed to feel great, vital or relaxed.  There are seasons in our lives when feeling shitting is exactly what one would expect given everything that is going on.   So why do we continue to judge and shame ourselves because we are not doing enough? In this episode, I ask you to set realistic goals that are supportive and attainable given the situation you are in.   I invite you to challenge all or nothing thinking especially during particularly stressful times so that you can find the room to make choices that may not be perfect or even ideal but are still benefiting you in small ways.
