Creative Processing Defined: Activating your creative mind to process a certain intention.

CREATIVE PROCESSING CHALLENGE: PROCRASTINATION & PERFECTIONISM

Step 1: Before engaging in the exercises, set this intention:

• The purpose of [WRITING/CREATING] is to process [PROCRASTINATION & PERFECTIONISM] and reframe [MY PERSPECTIVE TO TAKE MEANINGFUL ACTION].

• When we approach creative processing with intention, we open ourselves up to real transformation.

Step 2: Where are you waiting?

• Identify areas in your life where you’re waiting for the “perfect” moment to take action (career, health, relationships, creativity, etc.).

• Ask yourself: What small step can I take today?

Step 3: List Small Steps Forward

• Take one of those areas and break it down into the smallest possible action steps to move forward.

• Remember: Done beats perfect.

Step 4: Reflect 

• How can YOU embrace imperfection and focus on progress rather than perfection?

• Write about a time when imperfection led to something unexpectedly great.
