8 times out of 10, if a moment gets ruined, a perfectionist ruins it for themselves.
Take a yoga teacher who happens to be a perfectionist.
They will likely…
Come with a complete plan for the class
Teach the class
Receive praise after from students
BUT they will have criticized themselves for the whole 60 minutes about how they could be teaching better.
I know this because I've been that perfectionist yoga teacher (and I know I'm not the only one)!
For so long I thought yoga is about doing poses correctly, but it's actually about modifying poses and doing what feels good to your body and mind that day.
Probably a lesson we could apply to everything else…
~Stop ruining the moment with your perfectionism.~
--
When it comes to morning routines, 8 times out of 10, we ruin the morning for ourselves.
(the other 2 times coming from an external person or situation)
I hear things like:
"Yea I hit snooze, so the morning just went downhill from there."
"I could only do a 30 min workout instead of 45, so I didn't really do my full routine."
Or the BIG one: "I didn't do my routine perfectly."
There is no perfect morning routine.
It's about adjusting, adapting, and doing 1 small thing to fuel you that day.
Don't let your perfectionism stop you from enjoying your morning (or doing your routine at all).
