About this listen
Do you want to be freed from the need to be perfect?
As a perfectionist, you focus so intently on making life perfect that you can miss out on the pleasure of life itself! Your Inner Critic and reactions are so powerful that it becomes difficult to hear your intuition, let alone follow it.
Speaker, coach, and physiotherapist Kristen Ableson knows how you feel. In Better than Perfect, Kristen shares stories and techniques she used successfully to overcome her perfectionist traits and take control of her life.
In the wisdom of this book, you’ll discover how to connect to and live from your higher purpose using the strategies she shares. You’ll learn....
- How to break through disabling perfectionist behaviors and patterns to magnify your intuition
- How and why to break down your patterns of body reactions, thoughts from your Inner Critic, and your feelings
- Which powerful proven techniques can propel you towards conscious awareness, change, and ultimately the life that you would love
It’s time to free your mind, find your purpose, and follow your passion, today!
In Queensland, Australia, Kristen has an active practice where she helps people experience a new level of life. She especially enjoys working with people who deal with perfectionist traits and helping them see their own blocks and ways through life.

Anger, fear, frustrations, and all other emotions are part of the human experience. They can make you happy, or they can lead to stress. However, these emotions can be healthy when you experience them as well because they give you lessons to live better. Negative thinking is designed to make people feel uncomfortable. It creates stress in your body and mind, which is not only distressing but can also lead to health issues that can be chronic. No one wants to feel the stress that comes with negative thoughts, so it is better to escape from them.
