Perfection Paralysis? Break Free Today!
I needed to let go of making the one perfect choice and decide to choose something that is good enough. It happened this way. 50 or so years ago my husband and I purchased a wooden hot tub. We loved relaxing in it for a few minutes nearly every evening and it became an important part of unwinding and being together. We used it for about 30 years and needed to replace it and did with another wooden hot tub. Now, 20 years later, the second hot tub must be replaced, and we need to choose something more ecological. What we didn’t know is how many, many, many choices we have and how hard it is to find unbiased advice about those choices. It is also a lot harder to get ageing bodies into and out of these wonderful creations. After spending hours visiting dealers, climbing in and out of sample (empty) tubs, and doing online research, it’s time to choose. I still struggle with the limiting belief that my choice must be perfect. That would mean devoting many days to the search. I won’t do that, so we have chosen something we think will work. Then, I needed to neutralize the belief that there is a perfect choice. I used the 3 sentences and now feel comfortable making a good enough, but imperfect choice. When you get stuck trying to be perfect, the sentences will help you too. It’s easy! Read the book now.
Book Excerpt
Letting It Go
Letting It Go is all about using Logosynthesis to relieve anxiety and toxic stress, but even as I was writing it, I and others were continuously stumbling across new blocks to accomplishing goals and discovering that using the process made once difficult things much easier.
One of my students arrived in class and ecstatically announced that she had used Logosynthesis to easily complete a 6-inch stack of assignments she had been procrastinating about doing for months. Before learning this powerful process, she had almost decided to simply give up her struggle to earn the certificate those assignments represented.
Inspired by her success, I completed the first draft for a 30,000-word book on relationships in just a month while maintaining my regularly scheduled responsibilities. The research and outline had already been done, but I had put off the actual writing because of other commitments.
I not only met my publisher’s deadline, I didn’t waste any time staring at a blank page either, I just wrote. Each time I sat down at the computer I said the sentences using “anything in the way of my writing” as the trigger phase.
Since then, Dr. Lammers started offering a class about using Logosynthesis to manage procrastination and started a Facebook group about the topic as well.
Others have been using Logosynthesis with children. I tried too. I taught the ‘magic words’ to my grandchildren. Once, one 11-year-old came in screaming that he was bleeding. I discovered a few drops of blood on his toe and asked him to say the words with me. I don’t remember what trigger phase I used. When I asked him what had changed, he looked at me and said dismissively, “Well Grandma, I stopped screaming.”
