Every Thursday I share three useful things to help you turn overthinking into expert thinking. This week, I offer a short reflection (with links).

At the start of the year, I posted this on LinkedIn:

​Reader, I smashed it.

Meaning, I bungled, muddled, and mucked my way through the entire danged year.

As I did, I also practiced more and more of one of its biggest themes: reframing​

With that in mind, it's easier for me to see how every mistake is really just a learning.

And every criticism or judgement is just a wish​

Fortunately, I also learned a lot through small wins and simply doing the work — and how to do the work simply

My best learning was through interactions with all of you. Real and meaningful conversations, imaginary ones (in my overthinking head), parasocial relationships (the healthy kind) — it goes in many directions and includes the role models out there (also often you!) I looked up to and who influenced my ways of being in the world.

So, THANK YOU. I messed up learned loads and it all turned out ok!

This is the last newsletter of the year from me, so I'll see you on the flipside. May your holiday season be peaceful — in your head and all around you,
Kim

PS. Flubbing, bollixing, botching…what are your favorite words for f'ing up?
