110: Perfectionism, Procrastination & Changing Your Self Image w/ Sam Laura Brown

Author: Aileen Xu April 1, 2019 Duration: 43:02
You might be a perfectionist and not even know it. We tend to think of perfectionists as people who are obsessed with being organized and who never finish projects because it's impossible to get them just right. But perfectionists are also: people-pleasers, procrastinators, and people who fill their time with busywork. Today's guest, Sam Laura Brown, is a personal development blogger and mindset coach for the perfectionists who need to get out of their own way so that they can reach their full potential. Aileen and Sam explore all the different ways perfectionism manifests, why we can work on projects all day and still not see results, and how to 'trick' your brain into believing you're the type of person that you want to be – whether that's a morning person or someone who can simply keep a plant alive. → Show notes & quotes at lavendaire.com/lifestyle-110 → 2019 Artist of Life Workbook + Daily Planner | shop.lavendaire.com
