CPT #125: A Permission Slip for Perfectionists: Why I’m Letting Go (Overcoming Burnout)
from Follow Your Curiosity: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Creativity. · host Nancy Norbeck, Creativity Coach for Burned-Out Perfectionists
If you’ve been feeling like you’re clawing your way up a cement wall by your fingernails just to get through your "to-do" list, this conversation is for you. I recently realized I was my own worst client. In this Creative Pep Talk, I’m sharing the three-word message I saw on the back of a truck that stopped me in my tracks—and how it helped me save my creative spark. If you are a perfectionist struggling with burnout or the pressure to over-function, this episode is a "permission slip" to listen to what your own resistance is trying to tell you. Want more tips? Check out this playlist with all my previous Creative Pep Talks! Every episode stands on its own. If you're ready to stop pushing and start feeling human again, I invite you to join me for a free Creativity Circle.
