Life is not perfect, so stop waiting for the perfect moment to take action.

Last week I told my mentor, "I have been inconsistent with my rituals last week. Because I have been waiting for the perfect time when no one is around and I am on my own".

Only to realise, life is not about the perfect moment to do something. It is only when you can make time and grab those imperfect moments to take messy action is when you gain momentum.

Simple. Perfect action which may never happen. As opposed to imperfect action and so some momentum. Logical like math.

9 out of 10 times, what lies beneath the perfection and the procrastination is the real gold to break the pattern.

In my case, when I peeled the layers of me being inconsistent last week what came up was -

I have boxed myself in a routine under the name of discipline. Realising the current routine is not lighting me up anymore. Last week I just slept in all days and woke up just to get my son ready for school.

Went to the gym in the evening because my current morning routine felt blah.

This is not what I usually do. I also saw a pattern that if I don't get my rituals done in the morning, I just don't get to them later. And I realised, maybe I am emphasizing a lot on getting a task checked from my day than rather feel into these rituals.

The rituals didn't feel gorgeously amazing anymore because I am doing them as "Pradnya is a disciplined girl. She always does what she decides she is going to do on a certain day".

I am wearing discipline as my badge. Not realising I am sucking the joy out of it.

Discipline is great but not when it's self punishing, and forgets to experience it and enjoy it.

I was also reminded by a client of mine later about how women bodies are different from those of men. Men have the same hormonal confidguration every single day. Unlike us. Where our hormones change according to our menstrual cycle. And so expecting us to do the same workout with the same energy every single day is actaully unrealistic and not serving our women bodies.

Winters are also when the nature sleeps. And maybe the need of my body to rest more in winter. I aksed myself, “How can I honour my rest and still move my body?”

And so I sat with recreating my rituals which feel lit 🔥
Also connecting with my why behind these rituals.

To be back on track with my delicious ritualistic living 💚

So I invite you today to see what lies beneath the perfection and the procrastination because of it. Here are some questions for you to ponder,

• “What is it that I am fearing will happen if I don’t take perfect action?”

• “What is better? Perfect action which might mean no action or messy action which might mean some momentum?”

• “How will I feel when I break this pattern and take solid action?”

• “I know I do not have all answers right now. What if I take this action and then see where it leads me to take the next step?”

• “Perfect is subjective. What looks perfect to me might look and feel imperfect to someone else. So is it really a good measure of benchmark?”

• “What if I take messy action today and enjoy doing it?”
