Perfectionism..

Perfection is ironic, isn't it?!

     I used to use "I am a perfectionist", in every interview or when someone would ask me about myself. I would say that I always strive for perfection, refusing to accept anything less. I would spend my time repeating the same thing over and over again until I thought it was "perfect". What a waste of time that was..Or was it? Maybe not a waste of time, but more of a waste of emotions. 

     I think it is a well-known fact that practice makes perfect. But in all reality, what does perfect even look like? I have learned that there are many versions of perfect; When my 3yr old takes 20 minutes to make herself a deconstructed Peanut Butter and Jam sandwich, it is perfect, to her. Old me would have been focused on the result, causing anxiety to run, leaving me feeling forced to do it for her, only resulting in making her cry. Healing me enjoys watching her enjoy every moment while learning about cause and effect, developing her fine motor skills, and gain self-confidence while perfecting her sandwich-making skills.

   Looking for the lessons is part of the experience. Every human body is different, every experience is different, therefore, perfection in your eyes will be different. Give yourself a break; Focus on the experience and lessons learned along the way, instead of perfecting the results.

    The amusing factor here is that I may no longer claim to be a perfectionist, but it took me 3 days to write and rewrite this post & I'm sure it is still flawed. Ironic?! 

Ok, Bye-bye.

Set Goals That Inspire, Not Overwhelm: Harnessing Breath, Yoga, Functional Nutrition, and Small Steps to Thrive

Set Goals That Inspire, Not Overwhelm: Harnessing Breath, Yoga, Functional Nutrition, and Small Steps to Thrive Every morning, the sun rises—slowly, steadily, and inch by inch. At first, a faint glow appears on the horizon, followed by a single ray of light. Gradually, the sun peeks over the earth, one fragment at a time, until its full brilliance shines. Our goals are much like the sunrise. Progress happens incrementally, with each small step building on the last. These steps, often overlooked, are the micro-goals and habits that create lasting change. I was reminded of this truth during a simple morning routine. While running the track with my daughter before school, I got caught up racing her and a friend. As I pushed forward, I noticed she’d slowed down, walking with her friends. Instead of trying to catch her in one exhausting sprint—something I knew I couldn’t sustain—I focused on a smaller, attainable goal: closing the gap halfway. Little by little, I made progress, eventually c...
