Overcoming perfectionism

I forgot to do an It's Almost Friday Funny Video this week.
And you know what? That's okay!
I'm trying to overcome perfectionism at the moment. I am a perfectionist with everything important to me in life. If I enjoy doing something, I will try to be perfect at it.
But if I don't enjoy something, I could not give two shits. Things I just don't care about fall by the wayside.
Anyway, I digress.
I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself with blogging and it's turned from something I enjoyed into something which has to be perfect.

Last night I wanted to paint my nails. I really wanted to paint them BYS Hocus Pocus, a gorgeous, gorgeous aqua with a shimmer through it.
But I didn't.
You know why?
Because I've blogged that polish before.
I wouldn't let myself wear the damn polish because I'd already blogged about it. Seriously!?
So I painted my nails BYS Peacock instead. A colour I don't even particularly like, but haven't blogged about yet.
That was a bit of a warning sign that I was turning this blog into yet another perfectionist behaviour.

So I need to relax! I just.need.to.relax.
If I want to wear a colour I've worn before, who cares!? I should wear the damn colour! It doesn't matter if I don't blog about it. I'm doing this because I love nail polish and it makes me happy, not to churn out blog posts.

So you may see slightly fewer blog posts from me in the coming weeks. But just know that they are all done with love and attention rather than for the sake of it!
