NLP - 4 Steps To Acknowledge Your Imperfection and Build Your Self Esteem

Acknowledging your imperfection is a big step for a lot of people. I remember my NLP training, we did a lot of self-improvement exercises and half of the people there, including me, had a deep value of perfection. Consciously or not, and most of the time it is subconscious, we needed to be perfect and act accordingly. And obviously, as it is impossible, we had lots of emotional problems.

Most of the time, the value of perfection is subconsciously imprinted within us.

This easy exercise will help increase your self-awareness about mistakes by understanding that everyone makes mistakes and by loosing that subconscious belief that have that you need to be perfect and in control all the time to function in the world.

1. Make a list of famous people you respect who have made big mistakes. You can see that all the time so it shouldnt be that hard.

2. Make a list of people who you know and respect and write down the mistakes you can recall they have made. You may include your parents, relatives, friends, or anyone you personally know.

2. Make a list of people who you know and dont necessarily respect. Write down mistakes you think they have made. Again, you may include your parents, relatives, friends, or anyone you may know.

4. Review the 3 lists. Even if you think youre famous, even if you love and respect yourself or even if you dont love and respect yourself, think about these people and yourself. Think youre among them. You now see that youre not so different from them, physically at least. So maybe youre not so different from them emotionally either. Therefore you may make mistakes, as they do. Maybe youre imperfect as well. After all, if you were perfect, you wouldnt be part of that group, would you? You would probably be alone. Is that what you want? You dont want to be part of these groups, everyone pointing at you because you have a mark on your forehead saying perfect in big red letter either, do you? Do you really want to be that different and that lonely?

Imperfection is part of everybodys life and its good. Once you get rid of these toxic beliefs that you need and have to be perfect, life takes a total new meaning and freedom and abundance become your very best friends.
