Erin Doppelt on Procrastination + Perfectionism

In this episode we delve into the intertwined themes of procrastination and perfectionism. Erin shares insights from her book, discussing how procrastination often stems from the desire to avoid unpleasant emotions and the false belief that one must feel 'ready' before taking action. She emphasizes the importance of taking small, aligned actions to combat procrastination. The conversation then shifts to perfectionism, which Erin describes as a hindrance to authenticity and creativity. She explains how perfectionism can lead to self-sabotage, preventing individuals from honing their skills and achieving their goals. The episode concludes with practical advice on embracing imperfection and the value of trial and error in personal and professional growth. In this conversation, Dr. Abby Kramer and Erin Doppelt explore the journey of personal growth and self-discovery, emphasizing the importance of taking tangible actions towards one's dreams. They introduce the concept of 'soul time' as a practice for aligning with one's desires and discuss the balance between action and surrender in spirituality. The discussion also covers the 'Law of Massive Aligned Action' and practical steps for manifestation, culminating in resources for further exploration and connection with Erin's work.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Background05:32 Procrastination: Understanding the Roots10:18 Perfectionism: The Hidden Saboteur14:11 Self-Sabotage: The Cycle of Procrastination and Perfectionism16:37 Embracing the Journey of Growth17:41 Introducing Soul Time: A Path to Self-Discovery21:00 Balancing Action and Surrender in Spirituality23:20 The Law of Massive Aligned Action28:43 Practical Steps for Manifestation and Self-Improvement33:06 Connecting with Erin: Resources and RetreatsFollow Erin on social media @erinrdoppeltCheck out her retreats and offerings at her website herePurchase her book hereEpisode Sponsor:Who doesn’t love a good cup of coffee?
