Raise your floor, not your ceiling

Hey there,

Perfection sounds noble — but it secretly paralyzes.

It says:

 
“All or nothing.”

 
“Go big or go home.”

 
“If it’s not perfect, it’s not worth it.”

But that mindset?

 
It keeps you stuck.

Because high ambition without minimum standards creates inconsistency, chaos, and self-doubt.

Here’s the shift:

 
Stop obsessing over your ceiling.

 
Start raising your floor.

Your floor is what you do no matter what —

 
even on a bad day,

 
even when you don’t feel like it,

 
even if it’s just 10%.

That’s where freedom begins.

Example:

 
Let’s say your goal is to work out five times a week.

 
But your minimum standard is just: “10 push-ups a day — no matter what.”

 
Even on the worst days, you hit the floor, do your 10, and move on.

 
It sounds small, but it builds identity.

 
Soon, it’s harder not to do it.

Try this today:

 
Set a minimum standard for one habit.

 
Make it embarrassingly doable.

 
Then follow through — even when it feels too small.

Why?

 
Because trust isn’t built on big wins.

 
It’s built on not breaking your word to yourself.

Your Reminder Today:

 
Consistency comes from your floor — not your peak.

 
Raise the baseline.

 
Make it non-negotiable.

 
And you’ll feel more stable, more confident, and more free.

That’s how habits lock in.

 
That’s how momentum sticks.

 
And that’s how you reach your next level. 🚀
