8 times out of 10, if a moment gets ruined, a perfectionist ruins it for themselves.
Take a perfectionist who is trying to start a morning routine.
They get fixated on:
Waking up at the exact time they planned
Doing ALL the things
Never feeling rushed to get out the door
But we are humans and not robots.
We accidently stay up too late sometimes
We sleep in an extra 15 minutes
We spend a little too long journaling, not leaving enough time to get ready for work
The "morning misstep" is going to happen (and gosh it's hard to not beat yourself up when it does)
BUT ASK YOURSELF:
What are you doing the majority of the time?
It's a way to:
1) Give yourself credit for the great mornings you've had
(and not feel like a failure when you've messed up once)
2) Hold yourself accountable to not just talk, but walk the walk
(saying you're a "morning workout person" when you haven't made it to the gym once in the past month)
Because what you're doing the majority of the time is who you're becoming.
So who are you becoming right now?
