“Perfectionism rarely begets perfection, or satisfaction — only disappointment”

As I sit here nursing a broken toe I was feeling somewhat subdued about my inability to exercise…..

•

•

Well after a few days of painkillers, wearing the boot of shame, moping around and generally throwing my toys out of the pram (I admit I have been hard to live with - think GODZILLA) I decided to have a word with myself and get a bit more mobile.

•

•


Rather than thinking “i can’t do anything” I’ve made a list of the stuff I can still do (complete with gammy toe).

•

•

Whilst this isn’t PERFECT, it’s better than nothing and it’s certainly a bonus for my MENTAL HEALTH.

•

•

Yes it means I’ll have to postpone beginning my February training plan (or at the very least modify the plan) I need to remember I’ve had a fabulously strong January and am lifting heavier than ever and feeling really strong.

➡️Aim to be perfect, and you'll never be good enough. ⬅️ You'll be overwhelmed by self-doubt. You'll be likely to give up and not even try.

•

Don't aim for perfection. Aim to give your best, knowing that your imperfect efforts will one day add up to something meaningful. After all - Perfect is the enemy of good!
