Can Perfectionism = Procrastination?

(0)
Monday, January 25, 2010
Far too often, well-minded individuals get stuck trying to work out the perfect plan with the perfect details before they get started so that "all will go smoothly". But is this a recipe for procrastination and inactivity?

Some of you may have heard of the "ready, fire, aim" type of procedure. This is a perfect example of having the ability to jump into action with the ability to modify as the need arises. And this approach even works with your health actions. Taking a step or two of the right choices is far better than taking none  because you don't have a comprehensive plan in place.

One of the simple changes many make is shortening their workout time, at least in the beginning. It's far easier to carve out a 20 minute session more frequently for most then it is to try to find a full hour for 3 or 4 days a week. This shorter session may allow you to incorporate it more regularly, maybe even 5-7 days a week. Really our body should be used daily with enough vigor that you break a good sweat. That alone for many is a great start. Sweating daily.

So when it comes to doing good for your body, your life, and your plans: the only wrong action - is no action at all. Success favors action, not perfection.
