Overcoming Perfectionism: How to Let Go of the Need to Control Everything + Get Into Action!
In this episode, Michelle tackles the paralyzing effect of perfectionism and how it keeps high-achieving women like us from taking action. You’ll learn why done is better than perfect and how to start messy, take action now, and trust the process instead of focusing on an ideal outcome.
Key Takeaways:
- Perfectionism is a trap: It keeps you stuck, waiting for the “perfect” moment that never comes.
- Action over perfection: Start with what you can do now, even if it’s messy. Perfection will never be the goal—progress is.
- Trust the process: The journey of fitness, nutrition, and mindset is the real reward, not just the destination.
- Imperfect action leads to progress: The more you take bold steps, the more confident you’ll feel, and the less perfectionism will hold you back.
Action Steps:
- Start messy—commit to just 20 minutes of movement today.
- Make one healthy choice in your nutrition today—focus on protein and hydration.
- Let go of perfection—trust the process and celebrate progress, not perfection.
Quote to Remember:
"Done is better than perfect. Your future self is waiting for you to act—now."
