Avoidance & Learning Safety in Criticism

Have you heard that procrastination is an emotional regulation issue? Perhaps it’s also protection from something you intuitively know won’t be in your best interest, and we also need to consider learning to balance rest within a work and production based society as valuable of course…

but seeing the connection between avoidance and perfectionism / fear of criticism is liberating in a way that re-programs the inner child to realize it’s now strong enough, and safe enough

to handle negative feedback, deal with difficult situations, and even to make mistakes publicly.

Maturity in this way has the capacity to do that with a compassionate, empathetic heart that admits it cares as it’s learning and growing instead of shutting down its feelings in a “I don’t even care” type of way.

Thereby conquering the external and internal avoidance and paving a new neural pathway right through the stuck areas.
