The Myth of the Perfect Practice: Why Repetition is Revolutionary

There’s a pressure, especially in the online movement world, to constantly change things up.
New flows. New challenges. New goals.
It’s as if growth only happens when we’re doing something new.

But the truth is: some of the deepest shifts I’ve ever experienced came from doing the same thing again and again.

The same pulse in barre.
The same spinal roll-down in yoga.
The same walk around the block, every afternoon.

Not because I was chasing perfection, but because I was building presence!

Repetition isn’t boring.
It’s anchoring.
It’s how the nervous system learns safety, how strength is layered in, and how your body starts to feel like home, not a project to fix.

Through pregnancy, I’ve come back to the same movements over and over. Some days they feel powerful. Some days I struggle. But each time, I meet myself with a little more compassion. A little more trust. A little less pressure to get it “right.”

The magic of repetition is that it meets you exactly where you are - and it’s still useful.
No performance required.
No outcome needed.
Just presence.

If you’ve been stuck in the loop of needing every practice to be exciting or different, consider this your permission slip to repeat.
To return.
To move like you’re layering kindness into your body with every breath.

That’s where the real growth lives.
Not in novelty, but in noticing.
