Consistency.
This for me has been a challenge. It's something I used to hold very high in my previous corporate career. I used to hold other people to an incredibly high standard when it came to consistency. Now that I'm working for myself, I'm now finding it was easier holding other people to a standard that I myself struggle to uphold. Oh the irony is NOT lost on me.
So what am I doing about it? Well... I'm being more gracious with myself when it comes to doing things like creating images and promotional material, knowing that not everything has to be perfect. Oh the perfectionsim is strong!!!! OH SO STRONG! And for me perfectionism is related to consistency. If it's not perfect, it's garbage... bless that part of me being so judgement of myself and everything I thought I had to have perfect before I even do anything.
So I'm trying to be more consistent with letting you know how to book appointments with me, what events I have coming up, etc. So I'm also sending a weekly email to my database for a start. Something that I used to dread... I never want to be 'annoying' when it comes to sending emails or telling people what it is that I do. And to be honest, explaining what it is that I do, is still a struggle to put words to sometimes. Asking for testimonials is still hard for me... something I'm currently working through. I know it's ok to ask people for feedback, but I find it hard to actually ask for.
And as usual, this post has taken a few turns. I hope some of this resonates with you and your story. Just know that if you're working through perfectionism, consistency in showing up for yourself, or people pleasing... I get it. You're not alone.
Keep showing up for yourself and when needed keep calling yourself out on your own bs!
