"Separating who you are from what you do enables you to laugh at the silly things you do, without making fun of who you are." -Lois McElravy
Everyone goofs-up and says or does stupid things. What makes a bad situation worse is when someone witnesses it. When we don't know how to deal with unexpected or uncontrollable situations or when things go wrong, we often react in one of two ways. We externalize our feelings and blame or take it out on others; or we internalize our feelings and blame or beat-up on ourselves.
The fear of not measuring up or the risk of looking foolish in front of another holds us back from speaking up, sharing our ideas or trying new things. Once we concede to the fact we are human and learn how to accept our imperfections, we can eliminate the critical perfectionist behaviors that block us from exploring possibilities and revealing our potential.
Participants work towards accepting the things about themselves that they are not able nor willing to change. They learn how to poke fun at their flaws and blunders. gain the courage to risk appearing foolish, and develop the confidence to boldly speak-up and try new things.
