Customized Intro:
In immediately’s episode, I’m going to be sharing with you an excerpt from a training name inside perfectionist getting shit achieved. This was a name that truly occurred immediately, and through that decision I taught on what to do while you discover a perfectionist sample in motion, and the way to not go into disgrace about it, the way to not go into, oh my god, I’m by no means going to get out of this. I’m going to be this fashion perpetually. So for instance, the shopper I used to be teaching, she seen that when she units a aim, when she begins one thing new. So she’s simply began her artistic cocoon undertaking, and began creating spark content material for her that was YouTube movies when she obtained into the dip, when she was now not excited and motivated and filled with all of the optimism about what it could possibly be, when she truly had began recording.
After which she did a recording that felt so awkward to her that she actually didn’t prefer it. She truly forgot to even file it as nicely, that she simply felt so discouraged, so disheartened. It made her query whether or not she ought to even be doing YouTube movies. Ought to she be doing one thing else? Ought to she even be having a enterprise? And so what I used to be teaching her on on the decision was the way to get via that dip and the way to break the sample of moving into the dip after which quitting, or moving into the dip after which getting misplaced in busy work, or attending to the dip after which having this new inspiring concept and beginning one thing over. For her, the sample was she would get enthusiastic about one thing, get began, get to the dip. When one thing went mistaken didn’t go to plan, in accordance with her perfectionist mind, get discouraged after which begin one thing new. And he or she wished to interrupt that sample, however she felt so so discouraged to see that sample, as a result of it felt like that is the way it’s all the time going to be for me.
So what I taught on on this name, and what you’re going to be listening to is me instructing on what it means while you spot one among these perfectionist patterns. I share examples from my very own life as all the time and for purchasers. However what it means when that occurs? Why it’s factor to see that, and likewise, why to not count on your self to immediately get out of a sample while you see it? As a result of that’s with our perfectionist brains the place we will actually go mistaken, is once we actually get that consciousness, we’ve this click on the place we see what we’ve been doing, we see the sample, and we will’t unsee it, and also you see it in all these completely different areas of your life.

We wish to have a relationship with recognizing patterns in ourself that’s actually supportive. So that you may as nicely, based mostly on what you mentioned, you may additionally have an expectation that you simply shouldn’t have these form of patterns. It seems like, like that is some huge downside, as an alternative of like, once I discover a sample like this and I’ve have the same sample, most people do, I’m like, oh sure. I really feel like I’ve, like, cracked the code. I’m like, Oh, I can see it every now and then as soon as I see the sample. So that you’ve seen the sample. So we will both go into disgrace of, oh my god, I shouldn’t have this sample, which then perpetuates a sample. Or we will go into, Oh, my God, I do know the sample now, and now I can do one thing about it, as a result of I’ve consciousness I by no means had earlier than.
So now I do know if the sample is I begin one thing, I’m excited, and I speak about this, like, within the Progress Purpose modules of like, going via, like pleasure, after which the dip, like, it’s such a traditional sample, but when you recognize the sample is, I get actually excited. I really feel so hopeful. I really feel so motivated, so optimistic that this time could possibly be completely different. Then I begin studying the brand new ability or doing the brand new factor. Then due to some misplaced expectation that I’ve, I really feel actually discouraged and disheartened. After which from that discouragement and disarmament, then I determine to do one thing new so I could be again within the hope and the optimism and the joy very regular.
Or I then we both go into, like, doing one thing new, quitting all collectively, or we, like, go into, like, the busy work associated to the aim that we’ve as a solution to keep away from the emotions that we’re in which might be simply truly coming from thought errors that relate to the misplaced expectation of pondering I ought to already be higher by now. So if we see that’s that’s the sample, if you’ll, then we all know, okay, I’m going to be within the dip, and I can be taught set higher expectations in order that my feelings like in order that the story I’ve is a special story is a way more progress minded story than the perfectionist story. The perfectionist story is this could work immediately. If not, I’m a large failure, and that’s embarrassing, so I shall give up or battle an excuse in order that I can blame one thing. I’m so busy with this, I’ve this new concept, like our mind is rather like that is so embarrassing. I have to depart this case proper now, as a result of if I used to be ok, then it will be like this.
And so as an alternative, we wish to say truly, and it may be actually useful something like, to get into the expansion mindset, pondering when it comes to ability units. So for you, for instance, I learn out the submission in a second because it pertains to YouTube movies, that could be a ability set. And there are a lot of ability units inside YouTube or something that we’re doing, so I’m growing the ability set. So if I’ve achieved it two occasions, I in all probability haven’t developed the ability set but, particularly if I’ve achieved it two occasions with the expectation that I must be good by now. So we’re not truly when we’ve that expectation, we’re not truly absolutely engaged with what we’re doing. We’re simply making an attempt to do it in a approach that proves we’re good at it. So we’ll are likely to not truly even problem ourselves inside it.
We simply wish to look good to ourselves so we will really feel good. In the event you begin to see it that approach when it comes to like these, it is a ability set that I’m growing and naturally, and from that perspective, it makes the expectation of doing it two occasions after which being masterful at it, then it truly makes it a lot simpler be like, truly, that expectation doesn’t make sense. However once we consider it via the perfectionist lens, which is, I ought to solely get higher and higher and higher. Ideally, I ought to truly be good proper from the start after which I by no means enhance, as a result of I’m already excellent. Like, how I begin? Like, that’s, that’s the bar I can by no means enhance, which is form of what you had been saying at the start. Of like, that is me achieved. Like, there’s no enchancment that may occur.
As a substitute of, after all, there’s, there’s so many abilities inside what you’re doing. After all, the extra you follow them, you’ll enhance these abilities. So I’ll learn your submission, after which we might do some teaching on that. However I feel we simply wish to, like, have a look at the connection you may have with recognizing patterns that everybody has, that I need you to be excited and really feel linked to your self while you spot a sample, not disconnected. So that you form of went into like, Oh, it is a huge downside. Yeah, whereas, for instance, once I discover I full issues like 80% after which my mind is like, let’s not end. Let’s do the rest however end. Let’s do like, after which I noticed that sample I might see in so many locations, like, oh my god, sure. Now once I’m on the 80% I do know it’s not Oh, I can by no means end something. It’s okay. Now I simply have to, like, have some additional consideration right here and consciousness as I’m growing the ability emotionally to finish it. It feels weak to finish issues, as a result of then we we’re not on this like, nicely, as soon as I get it achieved, it’ll be wonderful. While you full one thing, you even have to seek out out what the result is once we depart it in limbo, we don’t have to seek out that out.
So once I noticed that sample, I used to be like, Sure, that is thrilling. I get to, like, now break the sample as a result of I can see it, and now I can spot it. So like, one among my one on one purchasers, I noticed the sample in her and, like, I can simply spot it. And there’s a variety of what I do with the coach. Like, I can, as soon as I’ve noticed it myself, you possibly can simply spot it in some not saying to go and inform all of your family and friends, like, oh, is that this new? As a result of that isn’t the time and place. However when you possibly can see that sample in your self, then you possibly can go in with, like, Okay, I do know that in three weeks from now, I’m going to wish to give up as an alternative of like, Oh, if I simply arrange, arrange the aim proper this time, then I gained’t wish to have the dip like, oh, no, that is taking place. So what do I have to do to assist myself? What are my expectations trying like? What like? What assist do I want? Can I write myself somewhat notice in order that in three weeks I’ve an e-mail.
You know the way there are these issues you possibly can, like, arrange an e-mail to go to your self on a sure date that, like, it involves me three weeks from now, and it’s like, Hey, you’re in all probability within the dip proper now. You’re in all probability pondering this. You’re in all probability pondering that. However right here’s what you have to keep in mind. Like, there’s so many various issues you are able to do when you recognize that’s the sample. And it’s fairly a easy one to get out of in a way of, you recognize, the best way to get out of that’s while you’re within the dip, as an alternative of quitting or going into busy work or a brand new concept, you simply maintain going via the messy center. Yeah, and also you’ve already achieved that in a lot of methods, as a result of your mind, id clever, thinks you’re the one that doesn’t try this, you may be ignoring all of the proof that you’ve gotten via so many dips earlier than. Yeah, that’s true.
And so you may as well have a look at, okay, now I can truly acknowledge this isn’t like, how I’m and the whole lot. Like, truly, there are occasions and conditions the place I get via the dip, whether or not it’s due to the circumstances or no matter else, there are occasions I get via it. So what like? What am I pondering that helps me to do this? As a result of I do know the way to do it. So I’ll learn your submission and we are going to coach on that. However I simply wish to say that about patterns, they’re thrilling, like that. It’s enjoyable to seek out about it. I like it. Okay, so that you mentioned, I’m within the dip with my artistic cocoon undertaking, which is making 10 minute movies for YouTube. After the primary two movies, I had the expectation. So that is when, that is what I’m agreeing for as nicely, like in teaching collectively, or like written teaching, simply these key phrases of like, I had the expectation that’s the key to this. And. It so I had the expectation that my movies would get higher with every new video I recorded.
After which that failed once I had a video that did worse than the earlier you mentioned it did worse as a result of I blanked and had nothing to say when all of the earlier movies, the 2 earlier movies, from the sounds of it, however our brains, like all of the earlier tons of of movies, the 2 earlier movies, I used to be capable of maintain speaking. I’ve no motivation. Handbrake is absolutely up, and I consider all of the ideas linked with my handbrake, together with the truth that I’m all the time mistaken and I all the time fail. So there isn’t a self belief for me to entry. I’m not reliable. When the video failed, my speedy thought associated to vary the targets. Perhaps I’m supposed to speak about one thing else utterly. Perhaps I’m not even speculated to be doing movies. Then my ideas transfer to give up and quit. I’ve nothing to supply. I used to be dumb for even making an attempt within the first place. I’d like to maneuver via this dip, however I do know I don’t have what it takes. I feel it is a cap of my handbrake.
It would let me develop up till right here, that is the farthest I’m allowed to go. I’m bored with my cycle of beginning over and attending to the dip and beginning once more, however I don’t assume I’ve the capability to vary it. To start with, I simply wish to acknowledge the attention on this, like having the ability to say, particularly, I had this type, I had this type, and I had this type, after which it moved to this kind of like, that’s a lot consciousness. I’m so assured, particularly with that consciousness that you simply’ll be capable to break the sample. I do really feel excited, however I really feel like I form of had that feeling of you mentioned, of like, I simply discovered this one key piece of like, once I see a sample, I’m like, Oh, now I now I’ve what I have to get out of that sample, till you possibly can see the sample, it’s fairly arduous to interrupt. And it’s like, get continually pissed off, however you don’t know why. After which as soon as you possibly can see the sample, it’s like, Oh, good.
And now I like now, and that is additionally simply so you recognize, what tends to occur is, and we’re all in, like, these patterns. Like, that’s how our mind works. It likes to be environment friendly, which implies pondering the identical ideas, feeling the identical emotions. So we’re going to all have patterns, and we’ve some ones that assist us, and a few ones that we’d reasonably not have. But when we have a look at what’s going to occur is, we’re in a sample, we’re probably not conscious of it, then we get the attention, like, extra consciousness. So you’d have had like, consciousness across the sample, however like, probably not seeing prefer it actually clearly. Then usually, usually, what’s going to occur is you may have a second the place you’re like, oh my god, I can see it right here, and like all these different occasions. So what we then don’t wish to have is an expectation of, now I’ve seen it, and Sam simply informed me she will get excited, and now I can clear up it. So I ought to clear up it immediately, and now have one other misplaced expectation as an alternative, it’s you then must navigate the irritating expertise, and it’s solely irritating as a result of we’ve an expectation and entitlement round it, however the expertise of I can see the sample and I’m nonetheless in it, and I’m nonetheless doing it, however throughout that point, you collect extra details about it.
So now I’m I can see this sample, and now I’m similar to watching myself be within the sample. I’ve noticed the sample. Now I see myself within the sample with out the sample altering. Then after that, if you happen to try this with curiosity, of like, form of like watching your self like a zoo animal, you’re like, oh, like, that’s so fascinating. I like, plan to do that. After which I did that as an alternative and look and like, as an alternative of getting pissed off, like, oh my god, I can by no means get out of it. It’s like, okay, cool. That’s like, so what was I like? What went on to me? Like, what was I pondering? What was I feeling once I determined to not comply with you thru with my plan? For instance, if it was like, a sample of, like, I make a plan, I don’t comply with it, what went on there? Like, in that second, okay, like, let me research myself. And the extra and like, the faster we will get via that extra shortly that have, like, pace it up by being extra curious and permitting ourselves to be within the sample and witness ourselves within the sample earlier than the sample adjustments.
If we’re not in that curiosity, we are saying issues like, I ought to know higher than to be within the dip after which giving up. Yeah, as a result of we’re like, we’ve this entitlement of, if I’ve seen a sample, I ought to immediately be freed from it. As a substitute of I see a sample, I’ve weeks and months of witnessing myself within the sample and nonetheless being within the sample, after which after that, if I’m curious sufficient and linked sufficient with myself and assist myself, then I can change the sample. However I’ve to have this era of permitting myself to see myself within the sample with out it altering, and with out having an agenda to vary it, of prefer it’s mistaken to be within the sample, prefer it’s only a sample, however once we make it this like ethical factor, of prefer it’s mistaken, or I’m mistaken, to be on this sample, it’s very arduous to get out of the sample, after which it will get so irritating, since you’re conscious of the sample now, yeah, so as an alternative, it’s, after all, I’m in a sample. I’m a human. That’s how our brains work, and I’m not in a rush to get out of this sample. It’s form of counterintuitive, as a result of as soon as we see it, and we’re like, Oh no, I can now, like, I wish to be higher and like, I can see what I might do.
However once we make ourselves mistaken for it, we. Hold ourselves within the sample. Yeah, we have to truly permit, like, I can see the sample, and that’s okay for me to maintain being within the sample. So say, for instance, the what I shared earlier than about, like, finishing issues 80% like, I seen that sample, after which had months of seeing myself in that sample with out altering it. Like, oh, I simply seen I did that right here. Oh, I simply seen I did that there. And now I’m actually within the place the place I’m like, Oh, I can simply end it, as a result of I had months of like, that is the sample, and I’m not in a rush, like, I positively wish to not be doing that. And likewise it’s okay that I’m, and it’s okay if I saved doing that perpetually, after which having that allowance of it allowed me to truly research it and perceive it in order that I can change it. Sure, okay, okay, so we wish to not have an expectation of, like, Oh, that is so thrilling, as a result of then I’ll by no means be in that sample once more. Of like, truly, I’m in all probability going to be within the dip and give up.
So that is the opposite factor you’ll discover. Like, you’ll get to the dip and your mind will simply now have extra artistic methods of pondering plans, such as you had been like, Okay, nicely, she’s on to us now. So let’s, let’s, like, have this different like, it’s simply figuring out, your mind can even, like, attempt to outsmart you, as a result of it’s, like, a protecting sample, sure. So your mind is sensible, and it’s going to adapt the way it does this sample. So it is a actually necessary factor, too, and I examine it in a e-book known as solely go as quick because the slowest a part of you is keen to go. It’s an extended title. It’s a extremely good e-book. So in that, she talks about patterns after which being a spiral, and like an upward spiral, however such as you’re going to cross again via, such as you’ll have these completely different patterns in your life the place you’ll have that very same sample come up. And as an alternative of fascinated with, I’m again with this sample, it’s like, I’m truly the following degree.
So if you happen to think about, like a spiral, so say this, I don’t know if that is going to make sense, and if somebody’s listening and type listening and may’t see my visible, however like, I’m doing a spiral with my arms, you probably have this spiral going up, you’re like, going to simply expertise the following degree of this sample for the remainder of your life, if you’ll. However will probably be, you’ll be rising and evolving and studying alongside the best way, such as you’re not caught, but additionally, like, your mind likes this sort of sample, so it should maintain desirous to be on this. And you’ll simply know, as an alternative of, I discovered it actually useful, as an alternative of being like, oh, like, as a result of there are such a lot of patterns, I’m like, Oh yeah, nonetheless, like, the identical factor that was developing for me once I began my enterprise, say, round visibility, that’s nonetheless the stuff that comes up for me now, however I’m at a a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot completely different degree of that sample. It’s like, I the spire, prefer it’s not manifesting in any respect the identical approach that it used to, as a result of I’ve developed, like I discovered the teachings for that iteration of the sample, sure, after which I’m on to the following iteration.
So it’s like, form of seen it like one other analogy, I suppose, is just like the online game analogy, however like, you’re gonna have the identical sample simply at completely different ranges. Like, it’ll simply evolve. And as an alternative of making an attempt to be rid of the sample perpetually, after which, like, say, for instance, what’s going to occur is, you probably have the attention now, which you do, and if you happen to then strategy it with curiosity and never being in a rush to get out of the sample. You’ll then get out of the sample. However then at a future level when your perfectionism handbrake comes on, while you’re feeling unsafe or uncontrolled, like your mind will wish to return into that sample, however will probably be a special taste of it. And you then could be like, Oh, that’s the sample once more, and that’s how that is the way it’s trying this time, and you then’ll clear up for that. So I feel it’s actually necessary to not be in like, a mindset of A, I shouldn’t have patterns B, a sample is an indication that that’s how I’m perpetually. And likewise form of, like utilizing consciousness towards your self, like the attention of it, and I get that, like, if you happen to’re like, oh, like, I can see all of it clearly now.
Typically it may be actually confronting, and that’s okay whether it is. However then we additionally wish to go into okay. Now I’ve the attention round it, and I’m keen to maintain being on this sample with out being in a rush to get out of it. Then you definitely’ll be capable to begin being like, okay, so like I can see now once I’m within the dip, that is, like, the sample for me. So it’s not only a basic sample, it’s a extra particular, like, Okay, I file a video. Proper after I end recording, I decide. I determine that’s not for me. I’m by no means going to do this once more. So now I simply have to make a special resolution, of I’m simply going to maintain making an attempt, or no matter it’s, it helps you truly maintain making an attempt. I’ll do if I’m going to give up, I can give up, however I’m going to do 10 extra movies earlier than I give up, for instance, or no matter it’s that it’s like, right here’s my plan for the way to get via the dip. After which what’s going to occur is you provide you with hypotheses for the way to be out of the sample, and on this case, the way to really feel discouraged, after which maintain exhibiting up.
So that you’ll try that. And it would work. It won’t the identical approach with the video. Video, you had a speculation for the way to file a video, and the speculation didn’t work. Okay, let’s simply make one other speculation and take a look at once more as an alternative of, oh my god, it should by no means work. So the identical with getting out of a sample, it’s form of like the 2 issues are very comparable, like the way you strategy a sample and the way you strategy this particular undertaking, and the YouTube movies that we wish to have it’s that you’ve your speculation for the way you’re going to do it, and you then give {that a} go, and we don’t have the expectation that each one my hypotheses ought to work out completely. Yeah, that is my principle that if I file a video like this, it’ll be simple for me to talk. Oh, I recorded a video like that, and it wasn’t simple for me to talk. I ponder why that’s is it the setup that I had when it comes to, like, speaking concerning the aim first? Is it one thing utterly completely different? I used to be simply in like, a special temper that day, like, who is aware of what it’s, however might I be interested by it and determine that out, or simply chalk it as much as that creativity and I’ll simply strive once more tomorrow?
And the identical with the sample of like, oh, I had a principle that if I’m feeling discouraged and I wish to give up, then I’m going to take this strategy, oh, however I nonetheless wished to give up, after which I and now right here I’m, six months later, noticing that I had give up. So for me, for instance, a sample I seen, and I’ve talked about this a bit, however is, I used to be in enterprise, doing issues at work, after which I cease it. Very irritating sample to note, oh, I used to be doing a lot that works, after which a special motive, every time, associated to advertising and marketing, associated to gross sales, associated to so many issues, I simply do one thing that’s working. I don’t it is a sample I don’t notice it’s working as a result of I’m so centered on what’s not working about it. So I ended doing the factor that’s working. It’s then very irritating for me, as a result of I’ve stopped doing the issues that’s working. So now I’m making an attempt more durable and there’s extra stress, however I’ve stopped the factor that’s working and I’m making an attempt one thing new that isn’t working but, when actually, the factor I used to be doing was working, and seeing this sample was so irritating. And likewise I used to be like, okay, cool.
Now I simply must do the issues that I do know work, and I do know they work, and so they had been working, and I can simply bear in mind that once I’m doing one thing that works, my mind will current to me this isn’t working. We must always do one thing else. So as an alternative of going, Okay, I consider you, let’s do one thing else, I must be paying consideration. However there are issues since having that consciousness that I’m like, Oh, that was me stopping one thing that was working, and my mind has similar to, discovered alternative ways to do it that’s like, a bit extra stealthy than earlier than, that it’s like, more durable to identify. So as an alternative of being pissed off, like, oh, I can see that, like, my mind to attempt to maintain, like, my the enterprise, small and like, protected in my mind, prefer it needs to when issues are working and I’ve that feeling of momentum, it goes, oh, let’s cease.
So I simply have to create that security and the momentum, which I have already got achieved. I understand how to do this.

It will imply XYZ is occurring by now when truly that expectation isn’t right, and it was working, I simply didn’t notice it due to the expectation I had that it must be completely different to the way it was. So simply one other instance of a sample prefer it’s going to be so regular to seek out the patterns and thrilling and likewise different emotions as nicely. And a course of, I’d say usually it takes, usually, a number of months of like being in a course of, if not, a few years of being in a course of and a sample and noticing that earlier than having the ability to change out of it, as a result of there’s abilities and emotional capacities that must be developed.
