The Perfectionism Project

Ep 136: What Would This Look Like If It Were Easy?


Listen Later

Until recently, I believed that success was hard. And that if it wasn't hard then it wasn't deserved.

But success doesn't have to be hard. In fact, for the majority of us, the only reason that success is hard is because we're overcomplicating it!

In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful journaling prompt that will help you create clarity and get out of your own way. I also dive into the hesitations that perfectionists have when using this question and make a few important distinctions that'll make this question your new best friend.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

  • The best question to ask yourself when you're starting a new project or habit
  • The two biggest reasons perfectionists overcomplicate their lives

  • The difference between ease and comfort
  • A powerful journaling strategy
  • How to use this journaling prompt in your everyday life
