Embrace Imperfection

At some point, in my journey to become a licensed Zumba® instructor, I refused to post video clips of us messing up, because I was obsessed with looking perfect.

One day, I decided that I would stop that nonsense, as well as stop practicing a routine like crazy before teaching it because I didn’t want to look stupid in the video later. What I learned was that it was okay for others to see my development process, with all its missteps, wrong turns, and awkward movements.

What if you decided to step away from your obsession with being perfect? What if the fear of making a mistake, or looking stupid didn’t matter anymore?

Girl, stop putting all that pressure on yourself and use these simple tips to embrace imperfection instead.  

  • Stop judging

You can decide right now to stop analyzing other people, looking for what’s wrong with their face or their body or their life choices. Refocus your attitude, so you stop seeing a difference as a flaw but as merely something that makes that person unique.

Just let go of the urge to criticize others, and you’ll notice a flow-on effect on how you see yourself.

  • Accept your imperfection

Wanting to be the best version of yourself isn’t the same as being a perfectionist. A perfectionist is never happy with who they are, how they look, or how they’re doing. Being your best means you work hard, you try, and you don’t give up. But it doesn’t mean you blame yourself when things aren’t perfect, and you don’t take failure personally.

  • Enjoy the process

Perfectionists tend to trip over every little detail and allow imperfections to spoil their lives. When you embrace imperfection as a natural part of life, it frees you up to enjoy the ride.

Obstacles become challenges that make life more enjoyable. You can slow down and notice all the good things there are in your life.

  • Adopt imperfection as a way of life

Once you make peace with imperfection, you can be a lot more objective about life. Your perspectives change, and what once seemed overwhelmingly important suddenly doesn’t matter so much. All experiences become just another aspect of a life lived richly, that builds the person you are continually becoming.
