We’ve idealized perfection in health and wellness without recognizing that perfection creates dis-ease.
Most of the time, Perfection is unachievable. When don’t meet our goal - we feel let down, unworthy, less than, when we don’t meet some idealized version of what we think perfect is.
For a long time I’ve been trying to be perfect. Perfect at business, perfect at being a wife, perfect at health, perfect at everything & anything.
But after this last month, I’ve had a profound shift. And I don’t know about you but perfect, is BORING to me. It’s impractical.
And I for one am breaking up with perfection.
My Traditional “Perfect Health” got thrown out the window this month as acute stress showed up navigating my Dad’s unexpected triple bi pass.
For me Health this month hasn’t been about hitting my macros or my steps or my perfect supplement routine. (My new iPhone isn’t even syncing to my step counter!)
Instead this is what health looked like for ME the last few weeks:
1. Offering myself self compassion and when I can’t give it to myself, having others do it for me.
2. Moving from fight / flight and survival back into some level of balance. (when adrenaline and cortisol are running the show no amount of perfect supplementation is going to move the needle)
3. Focusing on what I can do: Tiny Moments of Positivity To Shift my State. 15 minutes of meditation or kundalini (thanks to my girl ).
4. Serving others: After the immediate threat passed, I started helping the clients that I love to support with their health, which brings me so much joy.
5. Doing what I needed to do: eating as much chocolate and sugar as I possibly wanted to, taking my minerals (always), sleeping in, going for walks multiple times a day and getting in the sun, getting in the hot tub, talking to friends, being with my parents.
Sometimes Health doesn’t look “perfect”.
Sometimes health gets to shift to what’s right in front of you, sometimes the small things are all you can give and that’s OK.
Consider this your permission slip to not be perfect.
