The power of play

*Some recent pages from my junk journal where I experiment with no plan, just follow my instincts and play.*

Hello dear Reader,

What if the antidote to perfectionism and decision paralysis isn't more avoiding things, but, actually more play?

I have just posted another honest reflection about the loops my brain runs, questioning safety, second-guessing choices, and getting stuck in "what if?" territory. It's something I've lived with for a long time, and only recently discovered isn't universal.

Go figure huh!

I discuss how this has challenged me, but then something shifted. I started playing. Not strategically, not with a plan, instinctively. And it turns out that play is exactly the practice I needed to start rebuilding trust in myself, and still need today.

If you've ever felt paralysed by needing to make the "right" choice, this one's for you.

Until soon.
