Perfection Model vs Imperfection Model and learning from that – Part 8

“You can do work on yourself because of this acceptance, not regardless of it”

That is mind blowing to me! But not in a … woah i get it mind blowing but a woah that feels fundamentally impossible way.

Already the idea that I could self improve which accepting my current self was a big jump (one that I am putting in practice now bit by bit).

But to do self improvement BECAUSE of acceptance is mind boggling: BECAUSE i accept myself for who I am now, i work to improve myself in all the ways I want to. Seems paradoxical to me.

Though I believe that some people can live this way, and i trust that if a flow coach raises it, it is because it is a possible way, it still seems paradoxical!

So any wise words or guiding queations, exercises on that matter will be useful!!!

“What do you think about this path forward?” – if you mean the one k lay out in part 7, i think it seems feasible with lots of awareness and conscious work to avoid treading well used paths.

” It seems like you have some insight and intuition about how to navigate the future – do you trust it? Why or why not?” – yeah i think it is a good plan and i trust i can embed it into me.

FYI my membership is coming to an end on the 5th so i will read your next reply but i wont get a chance to resend one myself. Thank you for your coaching and guidance. I am using it this very moment . Take care.

 

Answer:

 

It is possible! The word ‘accept’ has a litany of different definitions, one of which is, ‘to recognize as true.’ Acceptance doesn’t mean that you can’t change. It’s an entry way to change. Once you embrace something as it is, you can look for good solutions – I think of it as having a deep understanding of who I am and what I do, and why I do those things. It’s not a problem – it’s information. If you would like coaching on continuing or cancelling your membership, feel free to come back before your membership expires.
