“Errors are proof that you have tried”

I am aperfectionist repentant

I don't know you, but I wanted to be perfect, I hoped that you have nothing to blame myself for - to be "certain" that I am still loved. I told myself that if I was wrong, that I was wrong, it was over, damn, screwed up ... because I felt in check and my own perceived value fell all the way.

Am I the only one?😅

Even when I broke my vase to make Kintsugi - by hooking up the pieces and highlighting the broken with gold - I wanted to break it “perfectly”.

Incorrigible I tell you!

In my reconstruction process, I had to - and I still have to learn to be mistaken,allow me to make mistakes. Because you can learn from your mistakes.

✨ Did you know that

In 1879, an invention was born that would revolutionize the daily life of major North American cities: the electric bulb. After more than700 unsuccessful trials, The inventor and businessman Thomas Edison saw his dream come to life: light up the houses using an electric current which passes through a simple carbon filament.

"I haven't failed once. I just discovered 10,000 ways that don't work. »Thomas Edison

✨ No error leads to denial

As I could not accept my weaknesses for a long time, my mistakes, I stayed in the denial of bad beliefs and diagrams that I reproduced for a long time. Accepting them, realizing them allowed me to get out of all this and to start a path of change and growth

✨ Perfectionism: the worst enemy of the artist

I had a big problem with my creativity, I felt blocked. Stupidly because I imagined having to make a drawing, a perfect painting the first time!"Because you shouldn't spoil the paper", "because the equipment is expensive", "because you have to know how to do it" ...

The list of injunctions I gave myself was long. So, I'm not even telling you anxiety about the blank page!

I had to learn that it is normal to do "badly" full of times before succeeding, thatto learn is to be mistaken. That "spoiled" paper is part of learning. It paved my way for exploration, experimentation, game, "so?". What if I made the composition in this or that way? And if the task you made, was only aHappy accident What was Bob Ross? And if this “defect” was precisely what made the wholecharm some cobweb ? It is important to find the pleasure of dabbling in the creative sandbox, of reconnecting with the pleasure of the feeling and the enthusiasm of the child, of experiencing wonder and spontaneity again.

Think of positive “and if” because you are so used to “and if” negative, to make your head in a loop head everything that might not go, not to work.

✨ Don't worry too much about the mistakes you could make. After all, it is thanks to them that you will learn and progress in what you do.

✨ So don't be shot by the mistakes you will do - rather learn how to take advantage of them!

Spoiler Alert: The resilience process is not a healing process in which things are perfectly ordered. Even that, I wanted to do it "perfectly"🙄. Incorrigible, I tell you!😅

And you ? What error did you make who turned out to be a good thing?

• Have you ever ended your heart desires for fear of errors?

• What are you not launching for fear of being wrong?
