Perfectionists can be really hard on themselves. But there's an easier way to live. Being kind to yourself is not only more pleasant than being hard on yourself, it's more effective. This week, Shannon and Janine discuss the importance of being kind to yourself--and various ways to do it. Discussion topics include: • Janine’s overeating of potstickers on her recent trip • How overeating something you enjoy may feel like a treat but actually isn’t a kind way to treat yourself • Rewards versus punishment in motivating yourself • The Stickk.com tool for motivating yourself with punishment • How sometimes people think that the need to be mean to themselves to get anything done • Some of the (many) ways Janine and Shannon are kind to themselves • Talking kindly and encouragingly as a way to be kind to yourself • Our advice: Talk as kindly to yourself as you talk to little kids • Comparisons between positive dog training and being kind to ourselves • Embracing the carrot instead of the stick  Visit the show notes at www.gettingtogoodenough.com for links.
