The Problem With Perfection

Alex and Meredith are dissecting a topic that affects us all - the myth of perfection. It's extremely important to recognize that everyone has their own challenges and struggles, and that it is okay to not have it all together all the time. There's a difference between maintaining and pushing in regards to priorities, and we have to be kind to ourselves by giving ourselves permission to take a step back when necessary. Self-compassion, curiosity, vulnerability, and connection are all qualities that can help us navigate difficult moments. Passionate anti-perfectionists who adopt a more "work in progress" and "good enough" mentality, Alex and Meredith also explore the impact of social media on our perceptions of perfection and the unrealistic expectations they can create. — The Canada Day Holiday, Working from Home, & Auto-responders — Why Perfectionism Is The Worst— The Myth of Perfection— Pressure to Have Everything Figured Out— Allowing Vulnerability & Compassion— The Toxicity of Social Media & Only Seeing "Success"— Work in Progress & The Belief that Good Enough is Good Enough— Investments & Returns— Doing Something is Better than Doing Nothing— Complete > Perfect— Don't Go Hard— Self-Compassion & Being Human— 'Good Enough'Resources Mentioned in This Episode:* The Growth Equation Podcast with Brad Sulberg & Steve Magness "160 -- The Attention Economy" (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/160-the-attention-economy/id1505257676?i=1000602344869)* Move Your Bus (https://youtu.be/o0G8AbpLFx0)* How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dave Carnegie (https://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/0671027034)* Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds by David Goggins (https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Hurt-Me-Master-Your/dp/1544512279/ref=sr_1_1?hvadid=288560736145&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9030971&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=12735659605543784140&hvtargid=kwd-580981252517&hydadcr=22532_10353775&keywords=can%27t+hurt+me&qid=1689690818&sr=8-1)────────────────────────────Want to work with Tactic Functional Nutrition? Check Out Our Services (https://tacticmethod.com/en-us/pages/services/#what-we-offer)Learn More About Us Here (https://linktr.ee/tacticnutrition) and be sure to follow Tactic Nutrition on IG (https://www.instagram.com/tacticnutrition/)!Stay in the loop with us by signing up for our email list!

Om Podcasten

Alex & Meredith are nutrition and fitness coaches and owners of Tactic Nutrition, sure. But this podcast is so much more than that. They are also no-bs straight shooters who want to take out the trash of the health and fitness business, one macro at a time. So yes they will talk workouts, weight training, cardio/endurance, and eating and meal plans. But they will also talk about how the health and wellness space has been affected by social media. What its like to be a competitive athlete with your own spouse but you also own a business together. And maybe occasionally why getting a cat before getting a dog was a good idea and how there is very little good lesbian tv content out there. So join them and the Tactic Nutrition team each week for new episodes right here on Afternoon Snack!
