“I am not pursuing perfection; I aim for progress. I will do something small today that makes me feel healthy and alive.”
Perfection puts your life on hold. It is paralyzing. It actually stands in the way of making real change in your life. When you are feeling stuck with something you want to accomplish – break it up into super small pieces and make gradual progress. Take it one day at a time & enjoy the process.
Here are 3 sabotaging scenarios & ways to flip them into small but mighty action:
Perfection: “I can’t stop snacking on unhealthy food.”
Progress: “Today, I’m going to enjoy an apple & almonds for one of my snacks.”
Perfection: “I can’t find the time or energy to workout.”
Progress: “Today, I’ll take the stairs instead of the elevator.”
Perfection: “I’ll only shop for a new outfit once I lose weight.”
Progress: “Today, I’m going to wear an accessory that makes me feel good about myself.”
