When Perfectionism Leads to Procrastination

And how to just get the damn things done

Help! I am a perfectionist!

You laugh, whilst secretly dying inside, knowing you cannot get anything started until it is EXACTLY right.


Sound familiar?


I know. I have been there. Tricking myself into thinking I had to get everything absolutely perfect before I started. Which is ridiculous, because if it was absolutely perfect, I would not need to start it. Secretly, I was using the planning, the pens, the new apps and the scheduling to prevent myself from having to get out there (and horror of all horrors) possibly fail.


That used to be me, until someone taught me the most incredible life hack โ€“ and it has transformed everything. And I mean everything. So much so, that I decided to train how to teach this method so I can share it with as many people as possible.


What if you could learn:

โ˜€๏ธ How to quieten the negative narrative

โ˜€๏ธ How to stop letting the fear of getting it wrong stop you from starting

โ˜€๏ธ Build upon your achievements as you go

โ˜€๏ธ Stop setting unrealistic expectations for yourself which prevent you taking any action at all


What if you could have a reset?ย Imagine what would be possible if you learnt some mind management tools to put a lid on the self-sabotage and reignite your motivation?


Just imagine if you could wave a magic wand and fix that one thing that is holding you back. Because the things that is holding us back is always the same: our brains.ย 



What if you could train your brain to stop undermining you and just start the damn thing?


[spoiler: you can]


Do you have any brain gremlins?

Tell me if this sounds familiar... You have this brilliant idea, you are just about to start it and then a brain gremlin pops up and tells you that youโ€™re a bit rubbish and you donโ€™t know what you are doing.โ€จ

Or your friend does something really good

... and even though you love them, you canโ€™t stop measuring yourself against them, and for some reason, you always seem to fall a little bit short?โ€จ

You've read the anti-capitalist manifestos and bought the pin badges

but you still catch yourself working too hard and basing your value on your productivity.โ€จ

And you have share feminist memes and champion your sisters

...and yet, still catch yourself being really damn mean to yourself in the mirror.

I am going to let you in on a little brain breaking secret:

there is nothing wrong with you.

We were taught this stuff. Which is brilliant news, because that means we can unlearn it.

What would your life look like if you were not constantly tripping yourself up?

it can be hard to imagine can't it?

Because these thoughts come out of our heads so we think they ours, when actually you brains only motivation is to keep you alive. It really does not care if you meet the deadline, have a hangover or might not get that date because you didn't ask. It is interested in keeping you safe, and safe often means small. This is why we need tools to stretch us and keep questioning what our brains are telling us. Because we all have evidence that they are not always reliable witnesses. For those days when your brain just won't hush, you need some robust tools.

What if you believed in yourself so much you were willing to just give things a go?


Imagine what it could be like to be able to put a spam filter on your brain and turn down the voice which tells you that you cannot do it, or that you are not good enough, or that you might be rejected.


What if you could transform all of those thoughts? What would you life look like?


This course gives you access to the tools I used which finally enabled me to create clarity and confidence in my life.


I created this work to provide a simple, cohesive strategy for you to be able to manage your own mind and become someone who has your own back.

Instructor Bio:

I'm Anna, a mindset coach, empowerment photographer, feminist, Buddhist and circus expert with a strong focus on social justice and how to find creative solutions to help people reclaim their bodies and minds. I am a confidence coach for people who hate having their photograph taken. I believe by taking on the responsibility to do our own work, we resource ourselves to support more people. I have coached hundreds of people on their path back home to themselves. I am on a fierce mission to equip people with the mindset tools they need to break through their own self-sabotage and live their wildest dreams. I think we all need that. And so I trained in it so more people can build their own toolkit. And I don't think we should all magically know how to manage our minds, if no one ever teaches us.
