Honoring your Inner Perfectionist as a Creative Archetype of Expression
Breathe.
Perfectionist is here within you.
Alive and kickin.
Wanting to control your every move,
Not just as separation,
but within and through you.
An Artisan that is detailed, nurturing every crevice, every herb, every texture, of your creation.
Wanting to smooth out wrinkles and crumble up what needs to be done.
All the layers for you,
moving through you,
through Perfectionist
as One.
Here are you are reminded to honor all of you.
All aspects, all styles of creation and expressions, in all mediums, which your Essence pours onto. Perfectionist is one of many. One in an Curator’s Eye, allows you to not only free yourself of all expectations, but to create new agreements within them, within Creation Itself, the expectation of your sovereignty, the expectation of righthood, the expectation of you being “just as,” “more than,” “enough than,” all.
All of these mind meanings, placed upon you come released. The Perfectionist takes them, reshapes them, keeps what is necessary, sheds what is no longer needed.
Here you are reminded to honor the Perfectionist within you through Acceptance.
Invoking Grace of Acceptance, Grace itself, your Grace. The Perfectionist requires you to invoke Grace, to flow through, channel through, and release.
The Beginning stages of your creation are molded. This concept, this archetyptal form, from there release, joy, play, be messy, be all the things that your Soul guides you to be.
As it’s released onto the medium, the medium soaks it in, and from here, you get to see what is required. You get to see what is asked of you—“What is being asked of you now?”
The Perfectionist within you seeks to hone, to touch and refine, to elevate in quality, and slow things down and ensure they are you.
The Perfectionist does not await another to give permission. Perfectionist says, “I know. I want it my way.”
Here in your creation, as it’s poured onto the medium, the medium soaks it in. It dries. The Perfectionist says, “Let’s release this here. Add a bit more tension over there, add a bit more color, more flavor, little bit less, little bit more. Just right. This tastes, feels, seems like us.”
This month (and the season to come), you encouraged to explore your Inner Perfectionist.
Rather that from a lens of rejection, nonacceptance, and liability, you are encouraged to embrace and welcome your Inner Perfectionist as Curator (Latin origin as curare is ‘to care for, nurture, guard’), as Co-Creator, as Sacred Collaborator within you.
To ease your mind through the lens of the Perfectionist, ask yourself, your Soul:
What is required of you?
What is coming to the surface for you?
Where is there creative tension for you?
If it is complexity that is raising tension for you, imagine collaborating with Simplicity.
Easing, simplifying. From there, allowing the curation of the most beautiful, simplest state, simplest form. Amazing, beautiful, creative things come in small packages, too. You’ve noticed the bees, haven’t you? Have you noticed the herbs and spices that go into your favorite dish? Lemon? Salt? Pepper? Small things can pack a beautiful punch—one that your tongue and your life inspires and is inspired by. Inspiration (Latin root inspirare is ‘to breathe into’); Spirit, Breath of Life. All Creation around you, co-collaborating with your archetype of Perfectionist. An archetype of creative expression it is.
Ask yourself, what is my Inner Perfectionist like at ease?
Feeling comfortable, feeling free to be, having space to wonder, having breath to take in, allowing safe space to create, be messy, and find beauty within? Here you are encouraged to get to know your Inner Perfectionist from a vibration of Compassion and Joy and Celebration to venture into Ease. The Perfectionist at ease. Ask yourself:
What is that experience for you?
What new possibilities open up for you?
What creations are allowed to come through?
What flexibility and adapting do you flow into?
May you enjoy this sacred month to come of sacred collaboration with your Perfectionist, the Perfectionist within you. Again, you are encouraged to…
Imagine how your Perfectionist collaborates.
What’s most loving, beneficial, and true for you? Is it laughter? Love? Simplicity? Is it Generosity? Passion? Levity? Fortitude? What is it for you?
Invoke Grace.
Allow Grace to flow through you and give you space to breathe, and show you how your Inner Perfectionist wants to collaborate with ease through you.
Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy.
Gracefully,
Diamond
