PAIN TO PURPOSE PODCAST

Perfectionism | Killer of our Creative Flow and Vision

Listen Later


Perfection, though often seen as an admirable pursuit, can become a silent killer of our dreams and creative flow. Focusing on flawless outcomes, fueled by self-imposed limitations and beliefs, can stifle the very essence of our being. However, setting boundaries with ourselves in various aspects of life creates a space where we can stop, take care of ourselves, reset our energy, and realign with our goals in life for the best outcome. Stop creating limitations on yourself and learn how to practice positive self-talk to cultivate a mindset of manifestation and visualization that creates and manifests what you want from life. Our thoughts create our reality, but a relentless pursuit of perfection can divert us from our authenticity, lead to mental breakdown and kill our creative flow.  

In this episode of the Pain To Purpose podcast, your host, Ashley Hays, shares how perfectionism can kill our creative flow, her experience, and the steps she took to reset and realign her goals to help you achieve what you want with clarity, alignment and energy.
