In this episode of "Her Messy Bun - The Creative Podcast," host Danielle delves into the topic of self-sabotage and offers practical tips to help creatives overcome this common challenge. Self-sabotage refers to the unconscious undermining of one's own efforts, often through behaviors like procrastination, perfectionism, and self-doubt. Danielle emphasizes the importance of acknowledging self-sabotaging behaviors and understanding that they can be changed through the brain's neural plasticity. She presents a five-step approach to overcome self-sabotage, which involves identifying current habits, envisioning the desired self, replacing old habits with new ones, actively monitoring emotions associated with habits, and finding the easiest "yes" to reinforce new habits.

Procrastination often results from feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, or uncertainty about how to approach a task. People may also procrastinate because they have adhd, and in this case it’s usually procrastination paralysis which can look like straight up laziness to the outside world, but it’s so much more than that. Whatever the reason, procrastination can lead to a vicious cycle where people feel guilty and stressed about not making progress, which can further discourage you from taking action. Keep listening because whether you have ADHD or not, I have a solution that can help you overcome your procrastination while you are in the thick of it.

Doing less is not a sign of laziness or lack of ambition. In fact, it can be a powerful tool for improving our physical and mental health, increasing our creativity and productivity, enhancing our relationships, and promoting overall well-being. So, the next time you feel overwhelmed by your to-do list, take a step back, prioritize what's truly important, and give yourself permission to do less. Your body, mind, and spirit will thank you for it.

The blog discusses the concept of self-coaching as a powerful tool for personal and professional development. Danielle emphasizes the importance of individuals taking charge of their own lives and reaching their goals through self-coaching. She highlights the need to prioritize personal and professional goals, reconnect with oneself, and overcome past beliefs. The blog also explores the differences between self-coaching and hiring a coach, noting that while both approaches involve setting goals and taking action, self-coaching requires individuals to be honest and challenge themselves.

I’m Danielle and I’m a recovering over achiever. I struggle with feeling like I’m never doing “enough” which is real fun when you’re on maternity leave or a mom trying to balance all of the things.

However, rather than thinking about what we achieve on an hour to hour basis, or day to day basis, I like to think about what I accomplish on a month to month basis. This allows me to set my short term goals as monthly goals, and my long term goals can be broken up into quarterly goals.
