Make Your Damn Bed

1633 || analyzing the fun out of it


Listen Later

I overthink things that don't require second thought. I suck the fun out of joyful activities by worrying about doing it "correctly" or "perfectly" or performing "well enough to not embarrass myself" yet...

even when there is no audience, I find myself performing.


The expectations take away the true joy that comes from "creating" and "play" and "love" and "fun" and I'm trying to pay attention to this tendency so I can sit with the discomfort of not knowing if I will do a good job or not, but committing anyway.


Watch the Junk Journaling video that I referenced here.
