This week I fired my perfectionist. And she is not getting a reference letter. She had been running the show for six months too long. Spoiler: she's me.
Welcome to this week's Thought Gem — your reminder to pause, breathe, and choose your focus.
I had been avoiding one thing. One thing. For six whole months I built it up, talked myself out of it, found better times to do it, and then found reasons why those times were not right either.
My husband said two words. I had no excuses left. So, I did the thing.
And obviously it was fine. It is always fine. That is the most annoying part.
Here is what gets me though. How much energy went into not doing it. The mental real estate. The anticipation. The drama of a thing that turned out to be completely manageable the second I just showed up for it.
Your invitation for this week:
What are you spending more energy avoiding than it would actually take to do? You already know what it is.
Come hang with us Wednesday. We are getting into all of it.
