About the author
Aída Lopez Gomez is a BetterUp Care Coach, MSc Clinical Psychology and Researcher. She specializes in mindfulness, meditation and compassion, resilience, self-care, stress management, alignment, communication skills & persuasion, and mindset/behavioral change. 
 
"Perfect is the enemy of the good," said Voltaire. Sometimes, we desperately seek the best, not realizing this search has lost its initial purpose. Aída finds valuable the power of acceptance and self-compassion; and how they allow us to identify what we want and draw up a plan of action with more clarity.
