Trying to be perfect can get in the way of healthy changes you're trying to make. Learning how to focus on progress and growthânot perfectionâ can put you on a path to success. đŻ When you set out to accomplish a new goal, you might start off with gusto and determination. You may be highly motivated, ready to make a change and confident it will go perfectly! But as time goes by, reality sets in, and your goal starts to feel harder and harder to reach. You struggle as you try to recapture the energy and excitement that started you on this path. When you can't, you resign yourself to the idea that the battle has been lost. Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common. The next time you find yourself trying to be perfect, beating yourself up for each misstep, try a different perspective. âĄď¸ Shift your focus from perfection to progress and celebrate your successes. Then, take some time to reflect on what happened when you changed your focus... ⨠Did you feel more joyful? ⨠Did it make it easier to move forward? ⨠Did it help your motivation? These are important questions to ask yourself because the information you gather can be used to reach your goals. But what to do next?! âŹď¸ 1. Identify one or two actions you can take to solve a problem you have. 2. Reframe a past failure and see it as progress. 3. Set realistic goals. ⢠⢠⢠#happybydesignco #happybydesign #happy #happiness #progress #perfection #perfectionist #progressoverperfecfion #personalgrowth #motivation #mondaymotivation #motivationalquote #personaldevelopment (at Seeking Progress Over Perfection) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCBwSfFn3v8/?igshid=15hy7lyq26868
