Happy Sunday you gorgeous lot! 😘 This morning I was late to my weekly planning session with Sarah Marney from Beyond Realms Admin Services. I didn’t sack it off, still went because getting something done is better than having nothing done at all! That ‘perfection’ monkey use to have such a hold of me and my life that it would paralyse me on a daily and weekly basis. I was stuck, frozen in my head and body. When you realise that ‘good’ is good enough the lightbulb 💡 goes on and you create space for yourself in your life and head. I love seeing that lightbulb moment in clients. I ask clients to repeat their brilliance, not their mistakes……….why? ⬇️ Perfection? It’s a myth! Chasing perfection isn’t just exhausting – it’s harmful for your mental health. The brain is wired for progress, not flawlessness. When you obsess over getting everything just right, you trigger your stress response, releasing cortisol, which leads to burnout and anxiety. Meanwhile, focusing on progress activates the brain’s reward system, boosting dopamine, which keeps you motivated and feeling good. So, ditch perfectionism, embrace the journey, and watch your mental health thrive. Remember, a little mess is where growth happens!
