Learning to be yourself

It's a little bit like playing dress up. You try things out, see what works and feels most like you. You keep those things that feel best and put the rest aside.

The fear of getting things wrong

One of the easiest ways to identify if you have an issue with perfectionism in some way, shape or form is to look at how you react to when you make mistakes (or what feels like a mistake).

A wonderful regression
