PRACTICES: 

• Soothe your body with gentle touch or self-talk to shift out of fear and return to a calm, logical state.
• Reassure your mind by gathering real-world examples that show taking risks, like being visible online, is survivable.
• Treat action as a playful experiment where trying, failing, and learning are all part of the process.
• Understand that being seen online is an important step toward growing your business.
• Mute people who discourage your self-expression and show up for the version of you that once needed permission to be free.
• Each month, choose one or two activities that generate income and genuinely light you up to stay aligned and energized.
• Start each day by tackling one important task that moves your work forward.

IDEAS: 

• Perfectionism is not about thinking you're perfect, but about never feeling good enough and using that to avoid judgment.
• As children, we often learn to value getting things right over expressing ourselves, which leads us to adapt in order to belong.
• Play helps us reconnect with our true selves and heal perfectionism by making the process more important than the outcome.
• Doing things that are aligned doesn't always feel easy, and challenge can still mean you're on the right path.
• When someone judges you, it usually reflects their own limitations or fears, not your value, and you can choose to respond with compassion.
• If you're being fully authentic, some rejection is inevitable, and if you're not being rejected at all, you may be hiding parts of yourself.
• Achievement that comes from play builds trust and self-love, while perfectionist achievement is driven by fear.
• Letting go of where you think you should be allows you to honour your own timeline and path.
• Perfectionism can also show up in healing, so it's important to offer yourself compassion instead of expecting to do personal growth perfectly.
