If the thought of becoming that person is overwhelming you, don’t worry. Nobody is perfect. In fact, being a perfectionist is being illusional. Perfection doesn’t exist. Perfectionists often suffer a lot because they are trying to obtain the impossible. Closing the gap between who we are and who we know we can become, is an endless journey. The more we grow, the more things we understand, and the more we will have the need to move forward. Always move forward, and it doesn’t even matter if there is no end destination. Today is our last episode, at least for now, on the wisdom of Abraham Maslow’s book “Motivation and Personality” and we will talk about 3 main things: 1. No one’s perfect, 2 the importance of gratitude, and 3 your extended family of self-actualizing people. But first, here is the summary for today! 1. Theory and Action: Following Maslow’s wisdom, we will demystify perfection, embody a state of gratitude, and realize that we are part of an extended family of self-actualizers, and we will take action with a really important exercise that will lead us to part 2: 2. Journaling: We will journal one of the exercises that we got from today’s piece of wisdom. It is extremely important that you follow through and do the exercise with us! 3. I will guide you through a visualization to get the wisdom of the day to deeply sink in 4. I will then guide you through a meditation, in order to create space in our minds, as well as what I like to describe as calm energy, to help you focus and thrive during the day 5. We will finish off with some empowering affirmations that I will ask you to repeat out loud.   Come and say hello on my socials: 💌 💌 💌 💌 BLOG AND PODCAST: https://www.raphaelreiter.com TWITTER: https://www.twitter.com/raphaelreiter INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/raphreiter FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/meditatewithraph
