Episode 44: Permission to Fail

Giving yourself permission to fail can make it easier for you to succeed. This week Janine and Shannon take a deep dive into this liberating concept, one that was pretty foreign to happy-go-lucky Janine. Discussion topics include: • Janine’s “good enough” perspective on failure • Whether failure is within your control • How, for perfectionists, failure can feel more imminent and threatening • Changing your perception of what is failure • The value of viewing everything as a practice • How those who embrace the mindset that it’s okay to fail are more likely to succeed • The impact of shifting your definition of success • How Shannon applied this to her first solo climb of a mountain • Setting yourself up so that trying = success • Giving yourself permission to fail enough times to get you where you want to go • How choosing to stop doing something is a success, not failure • Making an agreement with yourself to do something that’s doable to make success easier
