Helping overwhelmed creatives and small business owners turn overthinking into expert thinking…and action! 3 useful things every Thursday to gain clarity, get more done, and feel great about it.
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?
I'm available to work with two more people in the new year. If you think that might be you, start getting READY now!
