Showing up - Perfectionism Procrastination
Showing up on Social Media and just being me has taught me that i have a perfectionism part that shows up as procrastination, because i lacked self belief and confidence in myself.
Perfectionism can look a lot like procrastination.
Not because we’re lazy… but because a part of us believes it has to be perfect before we begin.
So we read another book.
Sign up for another course.
Watch another webinar.
Gather more information.
But often, it’s not knowledge we’re lacking.
It’s self-trust.
Perfectionism tells us:
“You’re not ready yet.”
“You need to know more first.”
“What if it’s not good enough?”
And so we wait.
But growth rarely happens in the waiting.
It happens in the doing.
Showing up.
Trying.
Experimenting.
Learning as we go.
You don’t need to consume more information to begin.
You just need to believe in yourself enough to take the next step.
Be curious.
Be imperfect.
Be willing to learn in public.
Less performing a role you think you should play.
More expressing the soul of who you are.
Because the real magic happens when we stop trying to be perfect
…and start showing up as ourselves.
When we live from purpose, self belief and soul, and release old stories, patterns and ego we can show up as authentic us with no attachment to roles or outcomes, and thats when the magic can happen✨
