It’s only one word – but it packs a wallop…and can erode confidence, create anxiety, inhibit experimentation, block creativity and sap joy.  The evil word? 

Perfectionism! 

Though Jan would never be an advocate for mediocrity, she believes that our constant preoccupation and obsession with “perfect” gets in the way of our happiness, joy, learning and growth.   

Are you ready to join Jan and let go of “perfecto”’?  

In this episode you’ll:  

• Learn the difference between using your high standards of excellence as inspiring drivers instead of debilitating punishers
• Learn Jan’s Football Field Principle to clearly define your life “touchdowns”
• Understand how your attachment to “perfect” negatively impacts you and those around you  
• Reframe your vision of self from a limiting “fixed” one to a dynamic, growth paradigm that energizes your life journey

What do you hold yourself back from experiencing in your life because of a belief that it’s not possible for you?   Do the words “I’m not smart/coordinated/talented/enough” ever trip off your lips?  Or how about “I could never do that, that’s out of reach for me” etc.

Our limiting beliefs get in the way of our living our greatest possibilities.

In this episode you’ll:  

• Shed a light on the limiting beliefs that hold you back 
• Bust those beliefs apart with the “truth meter”
• Reframe those beliefs into empowering possibilities 

Jan will challenge your assumptions, bust your old self-limiting paradigm wide open, expand your thinking and you’ll feel the freedom that comes as you start to realize “Yes, I can!”

Jan tackles one of the thorniest of our mental barriers to success – Self-Judgment. With a dead easy reframe of self-judgment to self-assessment, Jan gives you practical tools to objectively self-evaluate to eliminate the negative labeling of your value or worth. You’ll feel your world lighten up, opening the door to your possibilities. 

How do you feel when your self-judgment comes in?  I bet if I could hear your responses right now, I’d hear things like “oh my self-judgment makes me feel flawed, stupid and “less than”. Maybe you’d simply say that self-judgment makes you doubt yourself and lose confidence. I think we can all agree that self-judgment, and the resulting self-criticism does not make us feel better. In fact, it’s usually the opposite, like a toxin seeping into our mind and body.  Negative self-judgment weighs us down. It limits us, it causes stress, anxiety and worse.
