In this episode Gia and Karen address the issue of perfectionism and how it can destroy our creativity. They’ll share some personal experiences and cover these topics:

• Nature is filled with chaotic creativity that is perfect in its own way
• Our feeling that we are not enough causes to identify with what appears to be perfect externally
• Marketing and advertising exploit our fears of not being enough in order to sell to us
• Waking up consciously helps us see through the illusion of perfection
• The ego longs to be perfect because it hasn’t met the Soul yet
• Tips for coping with perfectionism:
  • Start before you are ready
  • Don’t overthink projects
  • Set short-term deadlines
  • Be done when you are done – don’t keep rehashing a project
  • Set a clear intention for each project at the beginning
