Trapped In The Chains Of Perfectionism? How To Break Free And Awaken Your Third Eye

Are you caught in the perfectionism trap?

It's a common struggle as perfectionism is often glorified in our society.

Perfectionism can take many forms – from the need to create perfect spaces to being the ideal partner, friend, or professional. 

It often serves as a shield against blame, judgement, or shame. 

But here's the twist…

While the pursuit of perfection may temporarily make us feel in control and worthy, it can negatively impact our mental, physical, and spiritual health.

As a spiritual seeker, I've discovered that letting go of control and unrealistic standards isn't just liberating…

It's crucial to awakening our inner wisdom – particularly our Third Eye.

Our third eye chakra represents inner sight and vision. 

Harnessing the power of our third eye allows us to see truths that lie beyond the physical realm. 

To harness the power of our third eye, we must awaken it.

However, awakening our third eye requires surrendering control rather than grasping for perfection.

Intuition, creativity, and psychic abilities flow when we relax our grip on doing everything "right".

If perfectionist patterns have blocked your spiritual progress and third eye awakening, 

Here are 5 practices to help you let go of perfectionism and align with your highest intuitive wisdom:

Embrace Imperfection as a Path to Wisdom

Think of the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is mended with gold, celebrating the beauty in imperfection. 

Each mistake on our spiritual journey is a golden seam, enriching our wisdom. 

For example,

Set Compassionate Goals for a Joyful Journey

Instead of rigid goals, set intentions that are kind and flexible. 

Imagine your spiritual path as a scenic hike – there's no race to the summit. 

The joy is in the journey itself. 

Start with small, manageable goals and savor each moment.

Practice Mindfulness to Quiet the Inner Critic

Mindfulness helps us observe our thoughts without judgement. 

Visualize sitting by a stream, watching leaves (your thoughts) float by. 

This practice helps you recognize perfectionist tendencies and gently shift towards acceptance and peace.

See Failure as Valuable Feedback

Embrace Thomas Edison's perspective: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." 

Each misstep in your spiritual practices is a step closer to understanding what works for you… refining your approach to growth.

Seek Joy in the Process, Not Just the Outcome

Imagine your spiritual journey as weaving a tapestry. 

Each thread, no matter how imperfect, contributes to its beauty. 

Celebrate small moments of insight and peace. 

These experiences are the true markers of progress.

When we ease up on ourselves, our inner wisdom flows more freely. 

Our inner knowing already sees our innate perfection. 

Our loving inner witness awakens as we release the harsh outer critic, revealing profound truths about our true nature.

Perfection was NEVER a requirement on our spiritual journey. 

What's needed is the courage to walk the path with eyes wide open…

… embracing our perfectly imperfect… embracing only authenticity – guided by divine wisdom.

And always remember…

Letting go of perfectionism doesn't mean letting go of excellence.

Here's to heightened intuition and inner peace on your journey.
