This week I learned how to deal with the small mistakes.
Nothing will ever be perfect. Ugh, I know - it sucks. Things will always come up, mistakes will appear, and some steps will be skipped. It's not in our control. But, this week I realized that the one thing that is in our control is what we do after the mistake.Sometimes I like to sulk after a mistake. In the moment, the mistake feels like the end of the world. My inner dialog says "How could you have let this happen?", "You should have done it this way.", or worst of all "We will never recover".
These thoughts are damaging because they tell my subconscious that it's not ok to make mistakes and therefore it's not ok to try.
I learned to remind myself why I am here. I am working on Wana not for a perfect end result, but to learn. And, hopefully along the way of this learning make a difference in as many people as possible. I've already changed lives and so all I need to do is keep going, keep my heart open, and head high.
With this mindset, I'm then able to address the mistake and get to the root of it - like a puzzle! This (as a side effect) keeps the mistake from happening again!
It's beautiful what can happen when you let go of perfection. I hope you feel just a little bit better reading this and continue to keep trying, keep going, keep learning.
