Sometimes it can be hard giving yourself permission to want things, giving yourself permission to pursue those things for no better reason than you ‘want’ to.

[I am starting to realise I have a terrible perfectionistic streak. If I can't make something perfectly (an activity that seems by its definition impossible) then I feel a great sense of anxiety. I'm trying to be less obsessive. I'm trying to convince myself that a quick sketch is better than no sketch - that an imperfect podcast is better no podcast at all, that an awkward tentative step is better than never learning to walk.]

Do you struggle with this too? (I know I do.) Let me know in the comments.

Also Christmas is coming up… this is the perfect opportunity to spoil your inner artist and inner child. I know I will be!
