Everything was working perfectly fine. Then the internet told me I was doing it wrong. 😱

I loved my warm, cozy winter coat hood.

The fuzzy bit stuck out in front of my face, blocked the wind, kept the snow off my nose. I was warm. Happy. No complaints.

Then I watched a video that said I was doing it wrong. That you’re supposed to tuck the fuzzy edge inside the hood for maximum warmth and snow blocking.

So I tried it.

Snowy Brooklyn day, I walked maybe half a block before I was like, “I hate this.”
Snow on my nose. Wind on my forehead. ☹️
So I pulled the fur back out and went on my merry way.

And I had to laugh at myself because I did the thing I coach clients on all the time. 😂

They’re good at their job. They’re doing something that works for them, an approach that gets results.

But then they hear about how someone else does it - a podcast, a book, a conference talk - and suddenly they think, “Wait, am I doing this wrong?”

So they try the new approach.
And it feels off. Not quite right. And they start second-guessing themselves.
”Do I even know what I’m doing?!” 😳

Well I have good news, friend.
Just because someone else does it differently doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

You’re competent, experienced, and getting results.

Sometimes you don’t need a better way.
You just need permission to trust yourself. ❤️

What are you doing right (for you) that you thought you were doing wrong? ⭐️
