Have you ever thought “I’m a bit of perfectionist”?
Maybe use that as an explanation of not having done something?
Or at least not completing it and putting it out there?
I’ve not been convinced about perfectionism for a long time.
After all, none of us have every aspect of our life perfect.
In fact, I’d be surprised if any of us have any aspects of our life perfect.
We make mistakes, get things wrong and do them sub-optimally all the time.
I think we’re more okay with things not being perfect than we might tell ourselves sometimes.
But often that perceived imperfection is in private.
What I think we fear is to be perceived by others to have failed to some degree.
I heard on a course recently that;
“There’s no such thing as perfectionism. It’s a softener word for covering up ‘I’m-scared-of-f@cking-up-ism”.
Which is a powerful realisation.
When we accept that nothing we ever do will ever be “perfect”………..
When we realise that knowingly sub optimal and done always beat theoretically better and not done……….
When we become comfortable with setting sail and course correcting as we go……..
Being ok with “f*cking up” on the journey……….
When Ready – Aim – Fire becomes Ready – Fire – Aim…….
When we realise that people don’t actually care about what we’re doing anywhere near as much as we sometimes think (I’ll expand on this tomorrow)………
That’s when things will start to change in our life (as they will if you try our four week trial with a Money Back Guarantee –> www.myrise.co.uk/apply) .
Much love,
