Good enough is great.

Good enough health is great health.

Not just sometimes.

All of the time.

I wonder: do I need to be the health champion of the world?

Stretch my leg behind my head Yogini?

Nah, a decent downward dog is good enough.

Never eat a breadcrumb again?

Nah, a cheat day breaded whatever is good enough.

Being the best burpeer before brussels sprouts breakfast?

Nah, a couple of push-ups is good enough.

It's ok to just be "good enough health guy."

Good enough to feel a tad better than yesterday.

Good enough to not beat myself up over health stuff.

I often feel guilty when I don't work out every day.

When I eat something on my health guru's "no-no list."

When I catch a glimpse of my Pillsbury Doughboy abs.

It feels like years of "optimally healthy me" messaging is impossible to let go of.

"What am I missing?"

"How can I achieve poifect abs and work-life balance and a tranquil mind?"

How can I not want to eat this Rice Krispie treat?

But the reality is: more stress over "poifect health" doesn't really get me anything.

And if I can chill out good enough (non-perfect meditation) and replenish good enough (go  to sleep already), then the time I spend working out and eating better will actually be good enough.

Today I give myself and my health permission to be good enough.

You wanna be good enough with me?

Microstep: Give yourself permission to be "good enough healthy" today. And tomorrow, too. Let go of having to do it all perfectly all the time.  No one can.
