Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!
Thank you so much for joining me again!
Happy Wednesday!
This week's theme for the podcast is: No More Negativity
A lot of us spend more time talking, sharing & focusing on the negatives in our life, when we need to be spending more time highlighting the positives.
This week I want to talk about some tips to rid yourself of negativity in relation to your thoughts, self-doubt, worry, perfectionism, control issues, and complaining habits.
Hopefully these tips will help steer you toward a more positive mindset, become more aware of triggers that bring out negative emotions and focus less on gossipy problems and more on positive, happy stories.
Here are some notes from today's episode:
- The negativity that perfectionism can bring down on you is purely from allowing yourself to believe that you could actually be perfect at everyone at some point.
- Perfectionism is not a real, achievable goal. But the fact that we talk ourselves into believing that it is turns into a negative cloud over our life.
- Even though perfectionism seems like you are heavily going after your goals & working hard to do your best, perfectionists still aren’t completely satisfied in the end product, despite how well it turned out.
- Not to mention feeling weighed down by the fear of not being able to measure up to yours or others unrealistic expectations.
- Also, spending so much time obsessing over the any mistakes you have made for sure isn’t bringing in any positivity into your life. And the fear of making anymore mistakes in the future will prevent perfectionists from trying new things in the future, for fear of failing.
- And one of the biggest things that will bring negativity in your life while living as a perfectionist is procrastination, which just brings unneeded stress & anxiety.
- Some might think that having control issues will actually help you prevent negativity in your life because you are trying to stay on top & in charge of everything, but trying to be in control of everything causes more stress, leading to inviting more negativity into your life.
- Continuously trying to make sure every situation turns out how you want it will prevent you from having spontaneous fun & adventures in your life.
- Always pushing yourself & others to follow the rules so everything will turn out how you want it to will hurt relationships, put fear into those in the relationship because they don’t know what expectations you have, know they will disappoint you if they fall short of any high or unknown expectations & will just generate general conflict with the need to always control everything, including actions & behaviors of others, whom you are not responsible for.
- The best way to combat control issues & perfectionism is to ask yourself what these behaviors are masking & what fears & anxieties are actually causing you to have the need to be in control of everything & all need to be perfect.
