How To Overcome Perfectionism

Perfectionism is a trap.

If you’re not careful, your idea or project can fall into the sinkhole that is perfectionism and be lost forever.

I have personally wasted too much time in the bottomless pit of perfectionism, waiting until I was ready or until the work was just right.

In other words, it to be perfect.

Now I know there is no such thing as perfect. It’s an illusion a mirage that steals our energy by convincing us that we are never good enough.

The good news is that there are specific ways to elevate yourself from the trap of perfectionism.

There are 7 pillars I use to supercharge my creativity and help me build forward momentum, and also to protect me from the bottomless pit of perfectionism.

I share a lot about these pillars in my 7 day course on InsightTimer called Supercharge Your Creativity.

Today I’d love to share more about Pillar #4: “Connecting with God”

There are many ways to connect with God or Universe, and prayer is one of my favourites.

I use this simple practice daily. I call it the Artist’s Prayer.

It helps me ground my energy and get me out of my own head.

It’s a reminder that my soul chose to come to this planet, at this time, in this human body so that I can fully express myself. That has nothing to do with being perfect or always getting it right.

This simple prayer also brings me back to love and service. Reminding me that by sharing my voice, my light, and my heart with the world, I can positively impact others.

I share the audio version of the prayer in the video above, or if you want the written version I have included it below.

—

Dear God,

Please use me as a vessel for your divine expression.

Use me as an instrument of your love.

Give me the courage to go into the depths of my heart and find my truth.

And the courage to speak my truth in my own authentic voice.
