"You want to work with ME?!?" It's the first thing that pops into my mind every time a new client enquiry comes through. An instant feeling of genuine joy with a little imposter syndrome mixed in there as well.⁠

OVERCOMING PERFECTIONISM... it's the phrase we use when talking about letting go of our perfectionistic tendencies. And the thought of *overcoming* something feels great, doesn't it? (I think you know me enough by now to know that there's a BUT comin… https://t.co/TL4HetU3Af

For anyone struggling with putting their creative work out there: no one's going to notice any imperfections if they're blown away by your IMPACT. Focus on the value you're providing + the message of what you want your community to truly take to heart. I… https://t.co/F5nWTZNePT

That's right, I removed about 20% of my IG followers recently(!) Not the genuine + lovely people like you, of course. But the obvious spam bots, the weird business-y accounts with 3 posts and - somehow - 3000 followers + the creepy stalker dudes (so many… https://t.co/1qSaaHPqSX

"PERFECTIONISM IS A PERPETUAL STATE OF DISSATISFACTION." @yvonstokkink left me this comment + I couldn't agree with her more. A typical workday for a perfectionist is 3% creative flow + 97% dissatisfaction.⁠

IT’S OKAY TO SLOW DOWN + TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF 🙌🏻 When I first started my creative business, there were times where I felt like I couldn’t take it easy. With the pressures of my full-time day job + the time needed to keep myself in good health and mainta… https://t.co/iEfkNybKDN

BE RUTHLESS ABOUT BEING YOUR OWN BIGGEST CHEERLEADER. In yesterday's IGTV video about changing your perfectionistic thoughts (give it a watch if you haven't done so yet!) I gave this one tip to help keep you motivated and encouraged in your process of le… https://t.co/33jhZfMJoh

I want to scale rocks I've never climbed + swim in seas I've never touched. I want to focus on being more than doing, giving more than getting. I don't care much for success or worldly belongings, whether I look fashionable or someone thinks I'm cool. Al… https://t.co/1cfBY69SU2

Do you want to be motivated by fear, stress + anxiety? Or do you want love, joy, ease, creativity + peace to be your driving force? The choice is yours...⁠ https://t.co/1KqCApilvY

So give happiness, to everyone, to anyone. Smile often. Leave an encouraging comment. Text silly emojis. Write love notes. Hold someone's hand. And remind yourself: these things... they truly matter.⁠

The 1 thing you NEED to know about overcoming perfectionism + how it's not as scary as you imagine! In yesterday's IGTV video I talked about the fact that there's this widespread misconception about what perfectionism is. Most of us think that perfection… https://t.co/Oo9VE3JLo4

Are you tired of hitting pause on your big dream for your creative business because *it* isn’t perfect yet? I get it, because I've SO been there.⁠

It was well into the recording of my second IGTV video that I realised my phone didn't have enough space to store these videos *cue face palm*⁠

I DON'T BELIEVE I'VE EVER TOLD YOU THIS, but here's why I decided to show up for my clients, my creative business + ultimately myself: I was damn tired of pressing pause on my big creative ideas because of my need for it to be *perfect*. And I see so man… https://t.co/NHC13XATcv

Let's keep it real, 99% of the time it's professional on top + pyjamas on the bottom. Who's with me? #itsperfectlyokay⁠ https://t.co/0gTVHRkUez

[Wendy @ditch_perfect]

To create anything out of nothing is incredibly vulnerable. Will it be any good? The true answer is: who knows? Or more accurately: what is "good" + what does that mean anyway? You can't know until you start and play and wrestle and get curious and try.

Most perfectionists have mastered the art of blending in: you play small + don't stick your neck out above the fray. You're desperate to hide the person you really are + instead conform and stick to the rules, norms, and expectations you perceive to be i… https://t.co/k3DUiG7SuI
