Being wrong, screwing up, making mistakes, effectively just being human.

I saw this somewhere else so I'm going to use it as an excuse to talk about it.

Who has a problem with that? What do you do to manage that problem for yourself? What does that look like?

Personally, I used to never admit mistakes because that made me feel like I would need to defend myself and I couldn't do that. I didn't own up to a lot of things for a long time because of the fear that I would be criticized and have to change who I was to appease the other person. That was how I functioned.

Part of the healing process was owning my shit and admitting when I screwed up. The other part of the healing process was getting okay with being human so that I didn't have to beat myself up for it.

Learning to be okay with making mistakes and being human comes with recognizing that we're all just doing the best we can at any given moment. We try to make the best choices we can and sometimes when we do that it doesn't work out the way we want it to. Sometimes we don't have access to all the information we need. Sometimes our own pain sneaks in there and skews the choices for us.

Unlike math class, where there was only one answer to the problem, life doesn't generally work that way. Nobody is coming at you with a big red pen to scribble on your work anymore. I see where needing to get the right answer in math class creates this perception that answers are black and white. They are either right or wrong and that there is no middle. But there is a middle. There is a "maybe" and a "sort of". Those things are okay.

Life doesn't have the same pass or fail system that math class did. When you screw up in life you have the opportunity to own it and correct it. That's the key. Giving yourself that power and making that part okay helps to free you up to try things and see what happens without fear of making mistakes.

Putting the bar so high that it becomes unachievable keeps you stuck. It doesn't allow you to try anything. It won't even let you get started because you know you'll never reach your own crazy expectations. That's a trap that you set for yourself out of fear of the other stuff, of what people will think, of what will happen next, and of what you'll end up thinking of yourself.

It just doesn't have to be like that. You don't have to do that to yourself. I got out of it. You can too and I can help when you're ready.

I have private coaching packages and one-off sessions available for those that are ready to work through the struggle, because ultimately even this is about your focus. What are you paying attention to? What are you thinking about? What stories are you telling yourself? When we shift those things, these fears and stories stop happening. We end these cycles. We make the changes to our behavior. We fix the problems that we created for ourselves.

Here's my link. You can reach out if you have questions.

Artists, what's the funniest blunder you've had mid-process?

Me: I once tried to erase some pencil shading on a page from a giant sketchbook I had, but I went a bit hard and my hand slipped, causing a piece of the paper to peel upwards despite not going all the way through. While I kinda managed to salvage it, I kid you not, I literally screamed, "NOOOOO!!!!" out loud. That's not even an exaggeration. Moral of the story: go easy with the eraser. 🥲
