You are enough. The myth of perfectionism
Sep 01, 2021When you try to be perfect, you enter a race you cannot win
You can’t even complete the race
There is no finishing line
The finishing line keeps moving
Here is the truth: the way you feel about everything is down to the pictures you make in your head and the words you say to yourself
The good news is you can change this dialogue and these pictures anytime
You can change these words
Each word is a blueprint for your mind, body, spirit
Your brain will use everything it can to make these words real
Thoughts are things-what you think, speak and say without realizing your mind is working so hard to make that you’re reality. Even of those thoughts are negative
So many people say
I will be happy when I get the promotion
I will be happy when I get this project done
Happiness is always in the future
You should be saying…I wish this phase lasted even longer
You spend your life wishing it away, bit by bit
You waste your life wishing it away, bit by bit
Happiness is not a destination you arrive at. It is the journey
Happiness is the journey you are on now
Perfectionists come in all shapes and sizes.
They are hiding their inner drive to be perfect
There is one thing that drives perfectionists…it’s the belief that “i am not enough’
If I am less than and I come across as perfect, I will be more than
When damaged people try to be perfect, it damages them even more
You don’t need to be perfect
You don’t need to be flawless
You don’t need to be infallible
You just need to be enough
And when you let the fact that you are enough, instead of trying to be perfect, which you can never achieve
When you let in being enough, it changes your life
So let it in, that you are enough
