I want to ask you a question: do you give yourself permission to make mistakes? Or do you punish yourself when you make a poor decision? Many of us have high levels of self-expectation and self-criticism, and it's important to remember that making mistakes is a natural part of being human. In this episode, we will discuss the importance of giving ourselves permission to make mistakes, and how it can lead to growth and learning.

Have you ever been in a situation where you've made a mistake and felt like you've failed? I know I have. But the truth is, making mistakes is a natural part of life, and it's how we learn and grow. Think about it, some of the most important discoveries and innovations in history were made because of mistakes!

Many of us have been taught to strive for perfection and to avoid making mistakes at all costs, but this can lead to a lot of stress and pressure. And when we do make a mistake, we can be hard on ourselves and feel like we've failed. But the truth is, making mistakes is a part of the learning process. It's how we gain new insights and perspectives, and it's how we improve.

So, today, I want to encourage you to give yourself permission to make mistakes. It's okay to take risks and try new things, even if it means making a mistake. And when you do make a mistake, don't beat yourself up about it. Instead, use it as an opportunity to learn and grow.

One way to do this is to reflect on your mistakes, and see what you can learn from them. Take some time to think about what went wrong, and what you can do differently next time. This will help you to see your mistakes in a new light, and to gain new insights and perspectives.

Another way to give yourself permission to make mistakes is to let go of the idea of perfection. The truth is, perfection doesn't exist, and striving for it can lead to a lot of stress and pressure. Instead, focus on progress and improvement. The important thing is that you're moving forward, and that you're learning and growing.

Finally, remember that you are loved and valued, even when you make mistakes. No one is perfect, and we all make mistakes. So, be kind to yourself, and remember that making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process.
