A couple of great paragraphs from Tiny Buddha. But read all of it.
A 2008 Psychology Today article titled “Pitfalls of Perfectionism” states, “[T]he biggest problem with perfection may be that it masks the real secret of success in life. Success hinges less on getting everything right than on how you handle getting things wrong.”
That’s why it’s so important for us all to mess up once in a while. We must re-learn what we knew as children—that screwing up is not the end of the world. That we can recover, and keep trying, and get better.
We must learn failure resiliency. We need to know deeply, not just mentally, that we can always bounce back.
And this Tiny Buddha is a great antidote to the therapist pushed perfectionism that Peter Levine writes about.
Movement elitism
Your doctor better have protocols for creating your relilience.
