Day 73 – Be a little imperfect today

05/19/2012

PerfectionistI am reviewing the lessons from the 100 Days of Weight Loss book. See notes here.

Day 73 – All or nothing
(Click here to read original post on Day 73)

Even if you don’t think it’s affecting you, perfectionism can block you from reaching your goals.

Most perfectionists are all-or-nothing thinkers who tend to follow the theme, do it right or don’t do it at all.

But since they never reach the point of being able to do it “right,” perfectionists never start.

Perfectionism usually involves a lot of black-and-white thinking. Either you do the whole thing (white), or you don’t do it at all (black).

Between these two extremes lies a gray area—a place perfectionists hate to enter. To stop being a perfectionist, you don’t need to move entirely from one extreme to the other.

If you tend to get stuck because of being a perfectionist, experiment with putting one foot into the gray.

For example, instead of expecting yourself to NEVER eat sugar or to eat when you aren’t hungry, allow for a few exceptions.

In areas such as exercise or meal planning, figure out how to make a small amount of progress, then label yourself as successful.

By letting go of your rigid rules and expectations, you will achieve a much healthier balance in nearly every area of your life.
