The Roots of Perfectionism EP: 562
How To Be A Better Person with Kate Hanley
This week on the podcast I’m talking about perfectionism, because as honorable as it is to care about being a better person and to give a shit about bringing your best and making a difference, we can go overboard with it all and feel like crap if we’re not doing our best at all times, which leads to feeling bad about ourselves and burn out. That’s not what we’re after!

The 5-Day Dawdle, Day 2: Take 20 Minutes Alone EP: 558
How To Be A Better Person with Kate Hanley
Spending time alone is a key ingredient for replenishment. The thing is, when you’re alone, no one is talking to you, or asking you to do something, and you can hear yourself think. Even if you are the most extroverted extrovert, alone time is still helpful and important.

Choose Love: Making Decisions from the Heart EP: 553
How To Be A Better Person with Kate Hanley
One of the reasons why decisions can be so taxing is that we’re over-relying on our brains to make them. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for making pro and con lists and doing research and mulling things over, but your brain isn’t the only game in town. There’s also your heart, which is all about love. It sees possibility and seeks expansion and understands things like truth and beauty--all things that the rational mind is kind of unimpressed with. I've got an exercise that will help you.
