076 Allowing Yourself to Be Perfectly Imperfect

As a recovering perfectionist myself, I know all too well the pressure we can put ourselves under to do everything perfectly, and without ever making any mistakes. But for many of us this drive for perfectionism can end up leaving us really stuck.

I know, because I’ve been there many times myself.

So, this week’s episode is all about giving you the permission you need to be perfectly imperfect. I’ll be revealing:

• What perfectionism is costing you

• Why it keeps us stuck and frustrated

• How it shows up in our lives (in ways you might not expect)

• Why perfection is an illusion

• Your first steps to overcoming perfectionism and finally getting yourself unstuck

We all have a perfectionist streak within us and it can be really frustrating when we’re in that place. But there are other ways which can lead to you feeling happier, making your life feel easier and, ironically actually helping you to achieve more in the long run.

COMPETITION TIME

To win the competition for a 2-session package with me, where we’ll go through your fitness and wellness goals, discover where you are right now and what might be holding you back, and then come up with a realistic action plan. Followed by a Personal Training session with yours truly, simply:

1. Leave me a review on your podcast platform, take a screenshot and email it to me at alix@chickfit.co.uk

2. Share this episode with your friends via Instagram stories, making sure you tag me in at @alixchickfit

You can do just one of these or both, and you’ll get a separate entry for each. The winner will be drawn at the end of November.
