SOME is better than none. This is one of my most significant mottos both personally and as a therapist. So often, our #allornothing mindset can paralyze us because we think, “if I can’t do a full workout, I just can’t do it at all.” Another statement I often hear is, “if I can’t do it the right way, I just don’t even try because perfect feels way too hard.”
Hi, I’m Lindsay and I’m a recovering perfectionist. I am continually reminding myself that #someisbetterthannone, whether it be a 7 minute workout, a 45 minute meet up with a friend or squeezing in an essential oils bath late at night before bed. When I get out of my own way and #justdoit, even if it’s something SMALL, it leaves me feeling better because I took an action step. That action step leads me closer to my goal - or need - or dream. And then it gains some momentum and brings me a little closer to where I want to be.
When I remember that I always have #choices, my life becomes brighter, lighter and more #empowered. Wholehearted life begins when I exercise my choices and when I get out of my own perfectionistic way. And this is where we truly practice living true to ourselves.What tools do you use when perfectionism seeks to steal life from you?
I wish you all the juju as you take a step in the direction of your dreams - even if it be small. Because SOME IS BETTER THAN NONE. #youvegotthis #tiuteam
