40 | Perfectionism vs. Excellence: How to Create Beautiful Work Without Falling into the Trap

from Singer Songwriter | How to Write a Song, Make Music, Song Lyrics, Music Theory, Singing Lessons · host Lainey Prendeville Crawford - Voice & Creativity Coach, Singer Songwriter, Holistic Voice Teacher

If you’ve ever considered yourself to be a perfectionist, then today’s episode is for you.     As a “recovering perfectionist” myself, who has learned to see the truth through the lies and who has found a way to deal with these tendencies when they inevitably creep in, I want to share with you some of the tools that have worked for me.     Because if you allow perfectionism to take over and infiltrate your creativity, it can completely derail you as an artist.  And it doesn’t have to be that way.     You can create beautiful work without beating yourself up along the way.     You can achieve greatness without the pressure of never feeling like it’s good enough.     You can move beyond the paralysis of tearing yourself up throughout the creative process and back into playful, joyful creating while still making beautiful music.   Here are 3 questions you can ask yourself to discern between the destructive energy of perfectionism and the constructive energy of reaching toward excellence so you can rediscover the joy in singing.     <3 Lainey   Next Steps:   Work with Lainey: reawakenyourvoice.com/coaching Watch the Free Workshop: reawakenyourvoice.com/workshop Visit the Website: reawakenyourvoice.com Email Us: [email protected]
