Ever catch yourself waiting to be “perfect” before you start something or allow yourself to live?
⠀
I sure have. I’m a perfectionist… or else I used to be. My military background taught me have all my ducks in a row, all my shit in one sock, keep my powder dry, to be “perfect.”
⠀
When I just typed that, I realised just how crazy it is. Imagine walking around a city with your shit in one sock ?. Holy crazy bald guy batman. You’d go nuts!!
⠀
It’s kinda the same when you decide to lose weight. Or gain muscle. Or make a change and set a goal.
⠀
Your brain starts buzzing.
You’re feeling the feels.
You get excited and maybe motivated.
You decide you have a goal.
You want to start.
⠀
But then what happens? You lose motivation a bit and make excuses because the time isn’t right.
⠀
…I’ll start when _______.
…But it’s the Christmas.
…my family is going through a rough time.
…I’m starting a new job.
…I’m moving and am not sure if it will work.
⠀
Guess what? You’re not alone. But…. it’s tough love Wednesday – and I’m calling you out for your bullshit.
⠀
There’s never a perfect time. There’s never an opportunity to reach perfection. It doesn’t exist.
⠀
Why? Because once we reach our current version of “perfection,” we create a totally new version and a new set of goals or expectations to reach.
⠀
But, guess what?
⠀
Each day is another chance to discover ourselves and find out more about who we are and what we want.
⠀
The way to become more perfect is to more closely understand ourselves.
⠀
Self-improvement, self-growth, increasing your emotional intelligence and empathy towards others are just a few things to name a few!

Does this resonate with you?
