Picture this

After a full day of testing and rehearsing (I even forgot the chocolat on my desk!) and days of preparing my webinar, I’m all set for my webinar “How to Overcome Perfectionism”.[dt_gap height=”20″ /]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column][dt_gap height=”10″][vc_column_text]I’m freaking out, Rik my husband is running back and forth between our offices. I’m doing everything possible while the majority of all my visitors is waiting patiently (I was really touched by their patience!)

But there was no other alternative than to cancel the meeting.

NOW, I’ve got to confess, If this had happened to me last year, I probably would have crawled under every duvet in the house and cried my eyes out. Giving in to the perfectionistic monster.

But I didn’t (I was somewhat surprised by it as well…)

Hours later, when the dust has settled down, I reflected on what had happened.

[dt_gap height=”20″ /]

Why the hell hadn’t I surrender? Was it some sort of will power? And why was there no shame? I had felt no shame at all (and I excel in the whole shame thing!)

And then – Light Bulb Moment –  I realized, it had been the gratitude.
[dt_gap height=”20″ /]
I had felt so profoundly grateful for the people who had patiently waited for the webinar to start. I felt grateful for everyone who had signed up. And had I felt such immense gratitude  towards the people who had tried to help me.

[dt_gap height=”20″ /]

My husband, my brother and sister, friends, even people who I’d never met before!

[dt_gap height=”20″ /]

The intense feeling of gratefulness had been so profound that there was no space left for the perfectionistic monster to enter my mind.[dt_gap height=”20″ /]

Being grateful is a great neutralizer for shame and perfectionism! [dt_gap height=”20″ /]

SO, if you think failing is the worst thing that can happen to you. It’s not. I promise you
