How to use Affirmations to Overcome Perfectionism

HOW TO USE AFFIRMATIONS

Do you know what I'm talking about when I say “pesky mind”….

It's not only that sometimes we feel less than our best, but it's the inner dialogue that follows that can really take us out.

OVERCOMING PERFECTIONISM

But perfection isn’t the way of humans, we are <falsely> conditioned by our culture to think we are broken when in fact we are experimenting and course-correcting to grow, develop and change.

Adaptation is how we have survived this long, and we don’t adapt by pursuing false ideas of perfection. We adapt by flowing with change. Affirmations are a great way to remind ourselves of that.

WRITE YOUR OWN

You can also write your own using these guidelines.

1. Make them present tense (the subconscious mind lives in the present)

2. Use simple words that carry feeling more than thought (heart-led more than brain-led)

3. Say them first thing in the morning and last thing at night so that you really maximise that window of blurred lines between your thinking mind and deeper levels of your being.

And that's it.
