This way of thinking can lead to self-criticism, discouragement, and a constant pressure to perform. It can also make everyday tasks feel overwhelming and stop us from moving forward with ease and confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBut perfection isn’t the goal, it’s a heavy burden we don’t need to carry. In this course, we’ll explore how to let go of perfectionism, quiet the inner critic, and cultivate greater self-acceptance. Join us as we learn to embrace progress over perfection and find more ease, balance, and joy in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTeacher.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/9654\/9287\/files\/TeacherGerry.jpg?v=1697416490\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/9654\/9287\/files\/Meal_Med_480x480.jpg?v=1696205732\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe teacher of this event is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGerry Bensoussan.
