Creative Ways to Practice Without Aiming for Perfection
What is your why?: Remind yourself of why you're doing something in the first place.
"Good enough": Define what "good enough" is and strive for that good enough place.
Doing something is better than doing nothing: Remember the fact that you're trying and showing up to practice something is far better than avoiding a new activity altogether. You get to experience something, and that in itself is more important than whatever "perfect" outcome you think is out there.
Adapt! If you're struggling to make something work, be flexible and adapt your plan, your approach, and your expectations. This flexibility will help you not give up on something prematurely. Just because something doesn't come easily to you at first doesn't mean you aren't meant to continue trying. It just may mean you need to try a different approach. For example, asking for help and imparting support from others can make things go smoother and may lead to even better experiences and results.
