"I find that I'm the most alive when I'm riding the fear wave... turning the tips of my skis straight down the fall line and going for it. It's a lot easier than resisting." ~Jennifer Gardner, on facing fear

As a follow-up to Episode 011 on My Struggle with Perfectionism, I did some research and reflection on practical strategies for dealing with this very common tendency that can stop us from doing just about everything. Here is what I came up with:
"When a bad thought comes up, whether I'm meditating or not, I acknowledge it and then I tell it 'Thank you,' and 'Please go away.'" ~Jennifer Gardner, on mindset and meditation
"The safest thing to do is to play it risky, to stand up, to ask questions, to lead, to connect, and to make art." ~Seth Godin
"If I'm constantly obsessed with being perfect all the time... I'll be sitting on the bench or sitting on the fence or sitting on my @ss instead of being in the game, and I don't want to sit there! I want to play the game. Full out." ~Jennifer Gardner, on missing the moment
