Episode Synopsis

Perfectionism is the #1 killer of creativity.
In this Down & Dirty segment, we get to the root of perfectionism, and discuss simple steps you can take to overcome it in the moment:

Develop a daily practice. Check out The Artist’s Way if you’re ready to commit time to this process of getting “unstuck” and recovering creatively: https://www.amazon.com/Artists-Way-25th-Anniversary/dp/0143129252


Plan to feel uninspired! Develop a “quick start” routine to help you tap into creativity, even on the days you feel “dumpy.” Mine looks like lighting a candle, having a 2 minute dance party, and doing some hip openers. Try doing something completely uncomfortable or outside of your wheelhouse to recover that sense of play.


When you are anxious or doubtful, Start! When you are overwhelmed and not getting anywhere, learn how to Stop!
