It can be uncomfortable to try new things if perfectionism makes you worry about getting them right. In this episode, Shannon and Janine discuss a recent class they took together and how it provided a great lesson in letting go of perfectionism.
Discussion topics include:
- The class on flowcharting that Shannon and Janine took together
- How perfectionism came up during this class for Janine but not Shannon
- How letting go of perfectionism allowed Janine to get a lot out of the class
- Applying flow charting to Shannon’s question, “Is is time to meditate?”
- The question Janine flow charted, “How can I design my schedule to write more?”
- How Janine was glad she let go of her discomfort over not knowing what to expect and signed up for the class
- “Everything you want is on the other side of fear.”
- How the technique of flow charting can help you let go of a concern about getting things right
- The imperfections inherent in flow charting
- The benefit of these reminders about the value of embracing good enough
- How handmade things are enhanced by their imperfections
