The 3-Step System to Loving Your Imperfections

Most of us are experts at pointing out what’s “wrong” with ourselves. We zero in on mistakes, second-guess our actions, and criticize what we wish we had done differently. This endless loop of self-doubt can leave us stuck, frustrated, and convinced we’ll never measure up. Here’s the truth: beating yourself up doesn’t help you improve.
