S04E18 About Perfection

This week is all About Perfection. The original meaning of perfection was all about wholeness, completion, and the word implied nothing essential was missing. Our modern world, shaped by religious and capitalist ideas has replaced this completeness with flawlessness. Perfection is the enemy of the good. Needing every thing to be perfect is a signal the nervous system is deregulated, and essentially the body feels unsafe. Seeking perfection is an unconscious form of control, and creates discomfort, anxiety and stress in the body, and the rooms we inhabit. Perfection is unattainable, elusive and therefore unsatisfying to pursue. When we chase perfection, we miss out on presence. This Christmas, I encourage you all to relax into the now, to enjoy the truth of being human in all its imperfect, beautiful unpredictability and to focus instead on authentic connection, presence and one another. Joy cannot exist with perfection, so at this time of year when we want everything to be perfect, instead choose joy. Choose each other. Choose love. Let peace reign in your homes and in your hearts. Happy Christmas to you and yours 🌟❤️ Much love, Miranda x
