Elevate Your Life: The Power of High Sta...

Erika Cramer
About this episode

In this episode, I’m diving into something I’m super passionate about—maintaining high personal standards and the values that drive them.

It’s not just about how others treat us; it’s about how we treat ourselves. I’ll be sharing how having my own fucking high standards has guided me in everything I do, from my relationships to my career.

Back in 2012, I went through a business program that drilled this lesson into me, and let me tell you, it completely changed how I approach my life.

But real talk: while I’ve nailed having high standards in my career, I’ve struggled with holding myself to those same standards in my personal health and wellness. It’s been an ongoing journey, and I’m still figuring it out.

In this episode I’ll be talking about the discipline, systems, and self-respect it takes to level up in this area.

Ultimately, it’s about building self-trust and confidence by keeping promises to yourself, because when you do that, your self-worth and self-respect go through the roof.

Takeaways:

  • High standards are about personal values and virtues, not just external expectations from others.
  • Disciplined actions build self-trust, which reinforces self-confidence and ultimately self-worth.
  • Identify areas in life where discipline is lacking and focus on improving them systematically.
  • Your self-worth is influenced by how well you keep your word to yourself.
  • Boundaries are crucial for maintaining high standards and ensuring personal discipline.
  • Achieving high standards requires clarity about personal values and consistent self-reflection.

If you’re serious about raising your standards and taking action toward your goals, tune into this episode and get inspired to make the changes you know you need.
