I'll see you there.
I believe ever since I was alittle girl, the idea of
perfection has always been agoal that I honestly could never
achieve, I had this obsessionover being perfect because I
(02:12):
didn't want to disappoint anyoneor myself.
I actually enjoyed.
Pleasing other people andgetting praises.
I know it sounds so crazy andweird, but in the season I
thrived off getting praisesbecause somehow it made me feel
validated and confirmed thatwhat I was doing is right.
(02:34):
I can't tell you how many timesI felt like a failure because I
didn't execute with perfection.
There was always something thatwould seem quote off with
whatever results I had, and itjust didn't feel satisfying.
I remember feeling disappointedas a college dropout because I
didn't think that I'd make myparents proud and then as I
(02:57):
became a mom and I startedplanning my children's birthday
parties, I would get so stuck onthe details that it would upset
me because what I envisioned inmy mind going into the birthday
party planning was not how itturned out.
So in my eyes, it was imperfect.
And not to be dramatic, but itfelt like the birthday party was
(03:18):
ruined somehow.
I also remember, as I'm thinkingback on.
My obsession of perfection isthat I remember stalling on
getting baptized because I waswaiting for the quote, perfect
time.
It took me years to finallyunderstand that nothing would be
(03:39):
perfect, and if I was going towait on the perfect time, I
would actually be wasting time,which, let's be honest, I
absolutely did waste a lot oftime waiting for the perfect
time.
Operating from the perfectionistmindset bred so much stress in
the many areas of my life as amom.
(04:00):
This idea of being perfect justmagnified because now I have
tiny little humans relying on mefor their survival and their
growth.
And honestly, I didn't want todisappoint them.
I didn't want to under deliveron the things that I said I
could do or that I would do forthem.
Honestly I was just a mess.
(04:22):
But thank goodness for growth.
So if you are realizing thatyou're also operating from the
perfectionist mindset, this isgoing to be the encouragement
you need to start letting go ofperfection so that you can truly
be more at peace and presentwith your family.
That sounds way better thanstressing out, doesn't it?
(04:43):
Now before we get started, Ihave to deliver bad news and
that is nothing.
And no one is perfect.
And I say that with so muchlove.
I know that it probably soundsdisappointing for you to hear
that because you want to havethis fulfillment, this full
satisfaction that you haveexecuted a goal or a task
(05:07):
without any flaws.
What you envision is exactly theproduct that came out, and it
just feels so incredibly.
Good.
Right.
At least that's the feeling thatwe're chasing.
Or maybe, and I'm only sayingthis from experience, but I'm
willing to bet that you probablyhave this problem too, and it's
that the pride in you cannotaccept that.
(05:31):
You will at some point mess up,disappoint someone or completely
struggle and fail at times.
You're probably.
Not even willing to admit out ofpride that you've already messed
up in this present time, but Iwant to offer you this food for
thought as a means to hopefullyshift your perspective and
(05:53):
mindset towards accepting thatit is okay to fall short, and
that is.
It actually is a blessing thatyou mama are not perfect, and
here's why.
Your Imperfectness gives you theopportunity to accept and
receive God's grace as a gift.
(06:13):
Romans 3 23 says, for all havesinned and fallen short of the
glory of God.
What does this mean?
Well, it means that we all havemissed the mark and have fallen
behind at some point in ourlife.
So that means that no one isexempt.
Jesus is the only one that hasever been perfect.
(06:34):
But Mama rest in knowing thatyour Imperfectness teaches you
to rely on God.
Which is what he wants becauseaccording to the first
commandment, you are not to haveany other God in your heart and
in your mind.
And also according to Romans 324, which is the following
verse, it reads and arejustified by His grace as a gift
(06:55):
through the redemption that isin Christ Jesus.
And I see.
Two gifts here.
I see the gift of grace and thegift of Jesus.
As I'm sitting here thinkingabout these two gifts, I can't
help but think about how awesomeit is that we get to be
imperfect because then itteaches us to really hold on and
(07:16):
clinging onto God.
I would also argue that wehonestly love to put ourselves
first if we're not intentionalabout where our mind is at, the
need, the drive and the want tobe.
Number one, can take over yourway of thinking and.
Honestly dictate the actionsthat you take.
(07:37):
Your mind can become poisoned,so to speak, with thoughts of
never feeling like you're enoughor accomplished enough, and then
you find yourself stuck andfrustrated when you're chasing
an unrealistic Expectation ofbeing fully satisfied in the
title that you want toaccomplish or in your
accomplishments, or even ifyou're chasing an emotion of,
(08:00):
say, for example, totalsatisfaction that.
You did something and it wasperfect.
And that's not to diminishanything that you've done or the
titles that you had or the hardwork that you've put into
something.
But when you use that to baseyour validation, to base who you
are and your worth on it becomesa struggle.
(08:23):
And when you shift from yourselfto God.
It makes all of the difference.
It is so life changing.
So instead of focusing onperfection and getting stressed
over it, here's one thing youcan do instead.
Work towards progress.
Mama.
this is where that mindset shiftcomes into play, and it's a
(08:44):
small change to be honest withyou, but it is going to make the
biggest impact in the way thatyou show up as a mom, as a wife,
a friend, a sister, a teacher,or whomever.
When you're working towardsprogress, you are essentially
accepting God's grace.
Because it teaches you to relyon him, you're learning to trust
(09:05):
him.
Instead of striving for your ownidea of perfection, you are now
beginning to slow down, whichgives you the opportunity to
really take a look at what youcan do realistically, not the
idea of what the results wouldlook like.
Because, let's be honest, youprobably started this mission
off with a vision in mind thatwould look absolutely flawless,
(09:27):
but when the reality doesn'tmeet the expectation, the never
ending thoughts of worry andstress will continue to cycle
within itself, and that is whyit is so important that.
As you're working towardsprogress, you are also being
realistic about the progressthat you're making or the goal
that you want to have.
It is not about perfection.
It's about making progress, andthis progress is actually going
(09:49):
to be what takes you evenfurther.
I'm about to bring up a versethat I actually talked about in
episode 107, which is titledWhat Not To Do When Building
Biblical Confidence.
And a couple of weeks ago Icreated a post in my small group
that talks about being content.
I.
So I will link both of them inthe show notes for you.
(10:11):
Now, the verse I'm referring tois two Corinthians chapter 12,
verse nine, where God says toPaul, my grace is sufficient for
you, for my power is made inperfect weakness.
And God responds to Paul in thismanner Paul has gone to ask God
three times to remove the thornthat was at his side, and that's
(10:31):
how he responds.
And when God says that, Paulsays that he will then boast all
the more gladly of hisweaknesses so that the power of
Christ may resT upon him.
Last week I highlighted how Paulhad to learn to be content and
this week I want to highlighthow Paul was so accepting of God
(10:52):
saying no.
And it makes me think as areflection, and maybe it'll help
you reflect too, but howgracefully do I accept God's no
in my life?
And honestly, I can say that Iprobably don't take it very
well.
I don't take it at face valuefor what it is.
I actually have to wrestle withit for quite some time in order
(11:14):
for me to have this peace withit.
And I really like how Paul setsthe example by just saying that
he will boast all the moregladly of his weakness when God
said no.
And so I think that'sencouragement for all of us that
we all can use as a way for usto reflect on how well we accept
(11:35):
God's no order for you to workefficiently towards progress,
you have to be content with whatyou have, which I just talked
about, and the end result, notjust what's present, but what
the end result's going to looklike you can still give it your
best effort, but at the end ofthe day, you've got to take a
deep breath and let it go.
(11:57):
Take a deep breath and let itgo.
You've done what you can.
So let God do the rest.
Before we wrap up this episode,I want to offer you a few tips
that you can start implementingright now as a way to help you
walk away from the perfectionistmindset.
The first one is to be mindfulof your inner and outer
(12:17):
dialogue.
In other words, how you'respeaking to yourself internally.
And outwardly, your words havemeaning.
What you tell your mind will beinternalized inside you, and
you'll begin to think whateverthe negative thoughts are,
right, you're gonna begin tobelieve whatever these negative
thoughts are.
And the second one is to setrealistic goals, which I briefly
(12:39):
talked about earlier in thisepisode.
But you really wanna think aboutwhat you can accomplish and
break those down into smaller,more manageable tasks.
The overall vision is not theproblem here because we as
perfectionists love to.
Be visualizers of what we wantthe end result to look like.
So the overall vision is not aproblem.
(13:00):
What's the issue?
Is that we have this idea thatit needs to be exactly like the
vision.
Instead of focusing on that,let's start by breaking down
these steps on how we can get tothe overall end result.
And then these steps that webreak down, they might end up
having substeps and that's evenbetter because it's gonna make
(13:21):
it even more manageable for youto be more realistic about what
can actually happen versus whatyou are imagining what happened
in the perfect scenario.
and the third one is toacknowledge the effort and not
the unrealistic outcome.
I've said this in older episodesand I'm gonna bring it back up
again because it's so incrediblytrue, and that is to celebrate
(13:42):
your small wins.
These small wins are going toadd up over time and it's going
to bring you the progress thatyou want to see.
We are leaving perfectionbehind.
Okay, and then lastly.
Don't give up.
I feel like that's the anthem tothis podcast.
Every time I sign off, I alwaystell you that you can do hard
(14:03):
things, but honestly, don't giveup.
Change takes time.
It takes being consistent andmaking intentional decisions.
So being intentional about whatyou're saying to yourself,
whether it be inwardly oroutwardly, being intentional
about the realistic goals thatyou're setting for yourself,
being intentional aboutcelebrating your small wins
(14:27):
change is very intentional.
You cannot just passively makethese changes and then expect it
to continue to repeat itself.
Because when you develop a habitof working out of the
perfectionist mindset, if you'renot being intentional about what
you're doing you will go backand start operating from the
(14:48):
perfectionist mindset again andchange also takes.
Patience, which I know it can beincredibly hard because we are
immediate people these days.
Immediate results are somethingthat is very hot.
We want it right here, and nowour patience level has
decreased.
(15:08):
And some of you might even sayyou never had any patience to
begin with.
I promise you, the more that youwork on it, the more that you're
going to get better at it.
I know that it can be incrediblyhard, but Mama, you can do hard
things.
(15:31):

again because it's so incrediblytrue, and that is to celebrate
(13:42):
your small wins.
These small wins are going toadd up over time and it's going
to bring you the progress thatyou want to see.
We are leaving perfectionbehind.
Okay, and then lastly.
Don't give up.
I feel like that's the anthem tothis podcast.
Every time I sign off, I alwaystell you that you can do hard
(14:03):
things, but honestly, don't giveup.
Change takes time.
It takes being consistent andmaking intentional decisions.
So being intentional about whatyou're saying to yourself,
whether it be inwardly oroutwardly, being intentional
about the realistic goals thatyou're setting for yourself,
being intentional aboutcelebrating your small wins
(14:27):
change is very intentional.
You cannot just passively makethese changes and then expect it
to continue to repeat itself.
Because when you develop a habitof working out of the
perfectionist mindset, if you'renot being intentional about what
you're doing you will go backand start operating from the
(14:48):
perfectionist mindset again andchange also takes.
Patience, which I know it can beincredibly hard because we are
immediate people these days.
Immediate results are somethingthat is very hot.
We want it right here, and nowour patience level has
decreased.
(15:08):
And some of you might even sayyou never had any patience to
begin with.
I promise you, the more that youwork on it, the more that you're
going to get better at it.
I know that it can be incrediblyhard, but Mama, you can do hard
things.
