Embrace Imperfection
Eliminating perfectionism can improve mental health and increase both creativity and productivity.
Hereโs how to do it;
Practice self-compassion and acknowledge that it's okay to make mistakes
Set realistic goals and expectations for yourself
Challenge negative self-talk and replace it with positive affirmations
Focus on the process, not just the end result
Embrace imperfection and learn to let go of the need for everything to be perfect.
Question: In what ways have you been hyper-focused on the end result of a current project? How can you focus on the process instead?
Action: That stuff I said up there is hardโ create a support network of friends, family, and professionals. Ask for accountability with self compassion or embracing imperfection.
