100 Days Of Kicking Perfect — A New Way Of Being
This might sound counter-intuitive, like back-ass-ward, and what the heck, maybe it is, but it has to be said.
I’ve not been disciplined.
I’ve not been structured.
I’ve not been strategic.
I’ve not been accountable.
I’ve not been using the precious time I have wisely.
To counteract this, I’ve decided to implement a perfectly-imperfect solution.
A disciplined structure where I use my time to hone my voice, my craft, my skill via my weapon of choice — words.
The question becomes, what if I do something for 100 days. Full stop.
Meaning, each day, upon rising, I know that I must write something that has meaning (to me at least) and train my brain, body and molecules to focus, to commit, to have self-integrity, and, dare I say, have fun.
See when I lose sight of JOY, my life stops working.
In the past that’s led me to misery, to stagnant, to depressed, to over-achieving, too sick.
And none of those ways of being is who I now choose to be in this life.
I now get it.
My time here is limited. I am capable of doing anything, everything or nothing.
I’ve all but perfected the art of nothing. In the past…
Always creating and striving and learning and stalling only to never release, never share, never fulfill my karma or dharma.
This happened with Education Lady, a project I worked on, released, succeeded at then stopped doing and instead drowned in perfecting. I speak on it in this Episode 2: The Story of Complication & Struggle.
Well, now I no longer tolerate excuses from myself.
Now I have chosen to take ten steps forward before allowing myself to consider one step back.
My old pattern was the reverse of that.
One step in and ten steps out.
Retreat. Retreat. Retreat.
Well, now it’s all hands on deck, forward march, burn the boats, baby. I’m all in.
And my one step back is healthy now. It’s a space of reflection, a step of ease and rest and if I don’t take it will burnout and the old way of being would ensue, I’d imagine.
I do, after all, have a few years of practice perfectly this old way of being.
Enough to know it no longer serves me, a need to perfect.
A stuck in the art of doing-ness that is filled to the brim with frustration.
Now I know what it feels like to access JOY and understand that it’s as vital to me as the blood that flows through my veins to carry oxygen to all my physical parts.
JOY is in.
Perfectionism is out.
JOY is in.
Procrastination is out.
JOY is in.
Blame and shame are out.
JOY is in.
Excuses can go to hell.
JOY is in.
BOOM.
Join me now for a
100 Days of the Kicking Perfect
The concept is simple.
When I get out of my own perfect way, all works. When I come from a place of JOYFUL peace and play, all flows.
When I stop the over-thinking my life is mic-drop good.
When I work from gratitude and a KNOWING that all is as it should be, things flow.
When I live in absolute abundance instead of striving for perfection, my life is amazing.
If this sounds like your cup o tea, then join me on this 100 days journey of being a kicking perfect version of you…
A Perfectly Imperfect Creator.
Each day.
BE: The one thing you can be grateful for above all else.
DO: The one thing that is GOOD ENOUGH as is and needs to go out-the-door done.
HAVE: The one thing you will enjoy today in celebration of kicking perfect for another trip around the 24-hour clock.
Leave a comment with your BE-DO-HAVE Kicking Perfect Daily below, for today and come back anytime you feel the need for accountability.
Or start this process in your journal.
Last note.
Imagine if you “trained” yourself to only have one moment, one post (as many words or as few as you so desire) in which to vent on an issue or challenge you are facing.
It’s like spending only 15 minutes worrying about money when your old way of being was to worry more than 23 hours a day. Don’t tell me you didn’t have nightmares, friend!
A complete 180 and the possibilities of what that will open for you… endless.
See worry takes so much energy.
Complaining takes up so much space.
Over-thinking and over-analyzing and over-questioning keeps us stuck.
So for the next 100 days I want you to see the power of this new way of being…
Limited time to moan.
Limited space to exert energy on that which does not serve you.
Limited ears to listen to the whine.
This is about holding yourself accountable to a higher standard, higher vibration and attracting more of what you WANT into your life.
Because, let’s face it, no one wants to be stuck in this never-ending loop of perfect.
It’s flipping lonely.
Exhausting.
Downright painful.
But on the other side of Kicking Perfect to the curb, well, there’s a freedom, a JOY and a peace that is deliciously divine.
And over the next 100 days or less, you may just discover it…if you commit to kicking that need for perfect.
If you’re in, post below and start YOUR 100 days.
