And so the more that we can divorce those two things and say, you know, great, I hit my goal.
And I'm worthy or great, I didn't hit my goal and I'm still worthy no matter what I do.
And I think that if we can remove that sense of self-worth that's tied to these ideas of performance, then that urgency to always push for more and more becomes a little bit quieter and a little bit easier to disconnect from.
It's a great question.
Basically, it's your sense of yourself and whether or not you have value as a person.
You know, there was a really interesting trend in the 80s and 90s when I was growing up, which was the self-esteem movement.
And basically it was prop up your kids, build them up by telling them how amazing they are and giving them trophies and trying to elevate them through their achievements.
And that's really backfired as we can see through people my age who are struggling with
with their wellbeing.
And instead, I think that it's much healthier to seek out self-acceptance.
So you are acceptable no matter what.
And that means that if I do a terrible job on this podcast and embarrass myself, that I would do my best to hang up and say,
Stephanie, you're still acceptable.
I might've wished I'd done better.
I might've wished I sounded more articulate or whatever it was, but it doesn't affect my inherent sense of wellbeing.
And I think the more that we can do that in our most painful moments and recognize that, as well as also the more that we practice it with others, the easier it becomes for us.
When I look at you and I hear how brilliant and wonderful you are, and I just think, wow,
she's amazing and has so much to offer and is so excellent at what she does and who she is.
And I offer that acceptance to you, then I can learn to turn that on myself as well.
And that empowers me.
