                                      404: We're not aiming to be perfect

                                      We know perfection doesn't exist but we still hold ourselves up to impossibly high standards. Today's episode is a reminder that you might be closer than you think.

                                       
                                       
                                       

                                      Episode transcript:

                                      Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Friday to you. It is the end of the week, the weekend is very nearly here, and you absolutely made it. Now, yesterday on the Daily Pepper, we started talking about this idea of being this best friend version of yourself. And while it might not be language that we necessarily use when we are doing anything in the kind of self help, personal development, self improvement realm, it's kind of part of what we're doing now. It is so easy to think about this best version of yourself as this woman who exists in the future, who has all of her shit together. It is so easy to kind of think of our parallel selves and it can be the start of a pretty big rabbit hole that doesn't feel great. But the thing is, if we're thinking about improving ourselves and if we're thinking about it rationally, and I know you know this, we are not actually aiming for this perfect version of ourselves because we know that perfection doesn't exist. So with that logic, if we know that perfection doesn't exist, maybe you're actually closer to being this best version of yourself than you think.

                                      If we look at this kind of idealized version of ourselves that we've put on a pedestal that we are constantly aiming towards, and we realize that somewhere tied up in that is probably a lot of things that we feel like we should be doing, then maybe we can actually start to see the small incremental changes that we're building upon and actually see that we are so much closer than we actually think we are. And I get that can feel a bit negative and I'm not trying to be a dream shitter, it's just that I don't think there's necessarily an end destination we're aiming for. When we think of self improvement and also when we get there, let's say that there is, you're still going to have your quirks and you're still going to have all of these fabulous things that make up your unique brilliance that we were talking about yesterday. Your unique combination of stories, strengths, skills, memories, experiences, perspectives that nobody else has, and the things that make you, frankly, fucking fabulous. So maybe you are a lot closer than you think you are. Maybe this idealized part of yourself is a lot closer than you think. And you can never truly start from scratch. And that is such a good thing because so many of the things about who you are right now is exactly what the world needs.

                                      And maybe you're all right just the way you are. And I know that's hard to hear. That's hard to think about, but I know it's true. So some food for thought for you over the weekend. We all know perfect doesn't exist, so stop being so damn hard on yourself and see if you can start to admire yourself for where you are rather than just where you're going. So have a good one. I can't wait to be back in your inbox. My letters of rebellion on Sunday.

                                      You can find out more about them in the show notes and grab the link there or back in your ears on Monday morning. Regardless of what this weekend has in store for you, I hope you get to do something for you. And I hope you get to do something fun. See you soon. And remember that everything changes when you believe you matter.

                                      Episode transcript:

                                      Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Thursday to you. Now this week on the Daily pep, we've kind of been diving into courage and how it doesn't always feel like courage. And I think one of the reasons we think a lot about changes is because around here a lot of us are doing things to improve ourselves and work on ourselves. And while we might not think of it in these terms, I don't necessarily it's this whole idea of being the best version of yourself. Now, I don't know about you, but when I think of this, I tend to think of green smoothies, Instagram flat lays, and beautiful journals come to mind. And I think we've kind of all been sold what that best version of ourself looks like. And it is one that definitely plays into a lot of conventions and sometimes it can just feel a world away from where we are now. We're going to dive more into that part of it tomorrow, but for today, I just want to say there's nothing wrong with trying to improve yourself.

                                      Obviously, that is why we are all here. But the changes that you seek to make and this version of yourself that you're aspiring to be, make sure that it makes sense to you. And make sure you're creating your own definitions rather than looking outside of yourself, seeing what makes other people happy or seeing what seems to be the right thing or the thing you should do and following that instead. If you've been around here a while, you'll know that I'm all about owning your unique brilliance and how you have stories, experiences, skills, memories, strengths and quirks that make you you and you have a combination of all of those things that nobody else has. So whatever this best version of yourself is, is going to be as unique as you are and just try not to fall into the trap, which is so much easier said than done than buying into what society says we should be aspiring for, wanting to be or aiming for. Your best version of yourself only has to make sense to you. It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense to other people and you get to create that definition. You get to change that definition as you go.

                                      And most importantly, when you are aiming to improve yourself or you're improving parts of your life, make sure that you don't lose yourself along the way and make sure it feels true to you. I know authenticity is a bit of a buzzword, but it is one of our closest held values around here and chances are you know what feels like you and what doesn't. So stay true to you keep exploring your unique brilliance. It's okay if you don't know what that looks like right now. And remember that you are a million percent not starting from zero, and we're going to dive more into that tomorrow. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your Thursday and I'm looking forward to being back with you tomorrow to round off this week and start the weekend with you. See you soon.
