Shift commitment - Anti-perfectionist style
I've been on a anti-perfectionist diet for a month or two now, and it works really well for me! I've realised that any time I set specific goals, I become rigid, my motivation becomes more and more extrinsic, and I slowly but surely get less and less inclined to reach my movement goals. So I've tried the opposite: not tracking anything, not reaching any goals. Just moving. Just listening to my body. Just feeling the pleasure of having fun, and feeling energized (been focusing on yoga, walking and cycling)... And I'm more active than now than I've been in the last year! 🎉 Summer is probably helping too! 🌞 So... it might not be for everyone, it might not be my long term way of doing things... But it works now, and that's what matters. I'm building momentum, and without even trying hard, I see changes in my body/mood/energy levels. Cheers to all you (non)perfectionists out there!
