On today's show I start the hour off with my implemenentation of subliminals and affirmations.  Do they work?  I am using this to try to get to Germany, so this may be an option one can use to try to reach their dreams.  If you affirm it, you tell the world and yourself that you already have it so in theory it should come true.  Then I play a Yodel from an amazing 14 year old Ukrainina girl that further affirms my desire to go to Germany.

After the break I talk with Author D. Dina Freidman.  She struggled with perfectionism in her life and if she couldn't be perfect she sometimes got frustrated and gave up on it.  When she had a chance to sit down and rationalize her situation in 2020 during COVID she found perfection wasn't necessary as it brought her joy.  She wrote a book about it and is searching to have it published.  She talks to us about her struggles with perfection and gives advice to those (LIKE ME) that struggle with this very thing.

Finally I close the show talking about how perfectionism impacted my life even to this day.  How I dealt with it and things I think you can do to rationalize your thoughts by setting goals then reevaluate goals.
