Hey everyone! These top 10 tips are so spot-on that I absolutely had to share them – and I encourage you to do the same. This list was sent to me by a friend, and we’re not sure who the original author was, so we’re calling it The Mysterious top 10.
Share and Enjoy!!!
#10 – DON’T TRY TO BE PERFECT
Let’s start with a biggie and one that’s close to home! I myself am a recovering perfectionist and yes, it’s a daily job, but someone’s got to do it! It’s time to let go of trying to be perfect, waiting for things to be perfect, thinking there’s a perfect time or a perfect way! As a dear coach and mentor used to say to me “Done is better than perfect!” Give yourself permission to get out there and go for it. Appreciate the lessons and learn to ‘fall forward’. No more trying to be perfect!

Let go of over or underestimating how long something will take and get real with yourself!

Here’s a fast way to silence that crotchety old voice. Write “I forgive myself for judging myself as…” and see how quickly you can ease up on your own self judgments and put that inner critic on permanent leave as you learn to be more gentle and kind to yourself.
#7 – HONOR AND COMMUNICATE YOUR BOUNDARIES
How many times do you step over your own boundaries to accommodate others? Give away too much to prove your value? Or, bite your tongue for fear of seeming too strong or too rigid? As a leader it’s up to you to show people where you draw the line and what is the right way to interact with you, while still remaining flexible and open to change. The more you respect yourself and honor your boundaries, the more others will do the same. No more ‘loosey goosey’ or wishy washy. Know what feels right for you and honor it!
#6 – YOU ARE A STAR
