Beyond the Tyranny of Perfection

Do you distract yourself from what you’d love to create by:

• Endlessly setting the stage?
• Waiting to get everything right, before beginning something?
• Fixating on the ideal scenario and wondering – where did my life go?
• Constantly tweaking your plans?

Are you are ready to stop looping in and out of the PERFECT life, and ready to begin creating your magical, wonderful, curious, joyful, and sometimes even messy adventurous living?

Several years ago I did a call with my friend Rachel Silbers titled “Beyond the Tyranny of Perfection” (https://youtu.be/Goe-bbv9RSE). We talked about the many ways that seeking perfection blocks you, feeds your procrastination tendencies and keeps you from moving forward.

My life will be perfect when ….

How many times have you uttered that phrase or something like it?

What are your criteria for perfection?

What is that ONE THING that you believe will make your life complete, amazing, perfect, whole and happy? A better job? Bigger house? More money? Career? Relationship?

Do you believe that if you add that one thing to your life or business that it will make your whole life perfect?

Chances are that you’ll just move onto seeking the next thing as you chase after perfection, leaving you feeling like you failed or are wrong or just have an emptiness that you can’t seem to fill.

Planning Paralysis

Do you never take the first step until you have the perfect and complete plan?

Are you constantly tweaking rather than doing?

When you don’t DO ANYTHING until it is perfect, you end up not doing anything!

You are stuck in “Planning Paralysis”!

Planning Paralysis shows up as:

• Endlessly going over scenarios in your head, already rejecting them because they aren’t perfect
• Believing everyone else’s plan or method always better than yours, so you keep switching to other methods rather than implementing ONE
• Constantly tweaking your plan rather than taking the first step

You end up never starting the project because you believe you need to change it, tweak it, replace it, etc before it is good enough for you to use!

Take the First Step

How do you fix that? Take the first step!

Ask God / Source / Universe to assist you in knowing / discovering the first step or the next step that will take you in the direction of what you would like to have!

And listen to the whispers of possibility. Pay attention to what is showing up.

Then take that step.

Then ask for the next step and take it.

It gets you moving. It gets you out of that paralysis so you can see that forward movement is good! Flowing with the universe and the possibilities feels wonderful!

Creating and choosing for you is phenomenal!

So get out there and move forward! Move toward your dreams and goals!

Keep asking questions.

Kiss procrastination goodbye!

Stop letting the enjoyment of life pass you by because you are too busy taking care of everyone else. Say good-bye to forfeiting hobbies, friends and the self-care you really needed most

Start creating a life that serves YOU, YOUR DESIRES AND YOUR NEEDS!
