✳️Perfectionism tells us we have to do everything, instantly, perfectly, and basically change everything about our life overnight. But we’ve tried that, and it hasn’t worked.
So instead of being beholden to this useless voice that tells us to do more… we do less.
If you…
do yoga two days in a row,
then stop,
then a month later attempt to revive your Every Day™ goal,
do it for two days,
rinse, and
repeat…
then in the course of 3 months, you’ve done approximately 6 days of yoga.
If, however, you decide your minimum baseline is to do 20 minutes of yoga twice a week, it is a much more manageable goal.
You don’t have to fit it into your schedule every single day, and if you miss a day–no worries!–that’s part of the plan.
And in one month, you’ve already done more yoga than you would have in 3 months with perfectionism setting the schedule.
So what, exactly, is the point of the minimum baseline? It’s to build a REAL habit. One that is almost effortless (I said ALMOST), that truly fits into your life, that you can achieve and actually WANT to do.
When we build our habits or intentional actions slowly but surely, week after week, we prove to ourselves that we finally CAN show up for ourselves.
Now, this can take weeks or even months. Don’t rush it.
It’s not about proving you can get the
minimum baseline perfect; it’s about building trust with yourself.
