Creating a new thing can be pretty messy.

Learning how to do something requires us to start by

screwing up, making mistakes, and being kind of bad at it.

If you’ve developed an attachment to succeeding,

planning to be less than great at anything can sound like a nightmare.

Here’s a spell to help you embrace

the glorious imperfection of making something new.

Make Magic:

To keep your perfectionism from overwhelming your creative impulse,

don’t think about it as doing a thing (which means doing it superbly).

Instead, try imagining yourself as a scientist,

and whatever endeavor you’re embarking on as a creative laboratory,

where success is all about gathering information

and learning by doing.
