How have we gotten
stuck on thinking of perfection as an attainable and stationary position rather
than a direction?
Going back to the
early philosophers we get definitions of 'perfectio' that include attaining a
state where 'nothing could be better' and something that has 'attained its
purpose'.
It's interesting to think that
both of these positions describe an end state…
We know that
people who get hooked on the need for perfection tend to have more issues with
depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.
Remember that beautiful
Beatles song: 'LET IT BE' ...
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to
experiment with some fun ideas…
This one is really easy!
Think of your
'cracks' - you know, the things that others have criticized in you and that
have been part of your own 'not good enough' list.
Now, make a list of
these attributes - both physical and emotional.
Next make a list of
the things that you've 'done wrong' in your life.
NOW IMAGINE THESE TWO LISTS ARE YOUR
OWN PRECIOUS AND PERSONAL LIFE LEARNING MANUAL!
