Do you tend to undervalue your wins but overanalyze even your tiniest misstep? 🙋🏼‍♀️

This phrase can help you recalibrate: "I am a person learning to_____."

Say you get feedback on how to improve a presentation. If you start to feel glum, remind yourself, "I am a person learning to put together a compelling talk."

Then describe your situation in even more detail.

"I am a person learning to put together a compelling talk, while leading three big projects, helping a new team member onboard, navigating a reorg, parenting a young child, and fighting off a cold - all during a period of high uncertainty.”

Putting things in perspective often makes it easier to adopt a growth mindset. Even better, it's a nice way to take stock of (and celebrate!) everything you're doing well.

Doing things imperfectly on purpose is going to bring up all kinds of things... limiting beliefs, uncomfortable emotions, an urge to control, fear...

These are opportunities to work through the things that feed into your perfectionism... to sit with those things, allowing them space to be seen, heard and let go of.

Remember to tread gently and show compassion to ourselves when things are out of our control. 🌺

We do have control over our actions and responses. 🌿
