LET GO OF PERFECTION ✨ As someone who has long embraced the pursuit of excellence, I understand the allure of perfectionism. It’s that seductive voice that whispers, “If you could just do this perfectly, everything will be alright.” But, my friends, striving for an unreachable standard can actually hold us back from truly experiencing and enjoying our lives. Today, I want to share a powerful shift in perspective that can lighten your load and brighten your path. 🌟 Embrace ‘Good Enough’ 🙌 It’s transformative when we begin to accept that ‘good enough’ is not only okay; it’s often exactly what we need. This concept doesn’t mean you stop striving to be your best, but it does mean recognizing that imperfection is part of being human—and it’s enough to move forward in a healthy, joyful way. A Simple Start:🌱 If you’re a massage therapist, apply this idea to your sessions. Set a clear intention for what you want to achieve with each client, such as helping them feel more relaxed or alleviating a specific discomfort. Once you’ve met these practical goals, allow yourself to accept that the session was successful. This mindset prevents the pursuit of an unachievable ideal of perfection in every touch and technique, which can lead to burnout and dissatisfaction. So..... By embracing the beauty of ‘good enough,’ you’re not settling—you’re flourishing. This mindset frees you from the chains of perfectionism, allowing you to celebrate progress and, more importantly, enjoy the journey. So, let go of that harsh critic inside of you, and remember: the goal is not to achieve perfection but to make space for more peace and happiness in your life. The truth is, when you allow yourself to be human, to make mistakes and learn from them, you’re not giving up on excellence; you’re redefining it. You Got This!

Perfectionism is the relentless pursuit of perfect results and outcomes that are inevitably unattainable and unsustainable. In this pursuit of perfectionism, you will find yourself overworking and overdoing things, often going the extra mile(s) that no one is willing to put. It is not enough that you put all your efforts into the things you pursue; you also hyper-focus on every detail and minimize any success or positive contribution while magnifying any flaw, mistake, or shortcoming. In relationships, perfecitonism leads to being overly accommodating and excessively helpful, where all your needs and feelings come last. Therefore, perfectionism brings with it poor boundaries and communication in any relationship. 🔥 If you struggle with overcoming perfectionism, comment below "I am ready," and I’ll send you the link to my free email course on 6-steps to Overcoming Perfectionism. Yes, it walks you through how to overcome it once and for all. #overworking #highfunctioninganxiety #overfunctioning #overworked #stayingbusy #peoplepleaser #peoplepleasing #perfectionism #perfectionismcycle #perfectionist #recoveringperfectionist #overcomingperfectionism #showupforyourself #dontcompareyourself #selfworthmovement #burnoutrecovery #youareimportant #perfectlife #notperfect #innercritic #selfjudgement #perfectionisme #theperfectionist #mrperfectionist #perfectionistproblems #gracenotperfection #letgoofperfection #imperfectperfection #imperfectionisbeautiful #youdonthavetobeperfect
It’s interesting to me when I’m confronted with thoughts or ideas that are counter intuitive to what I use to think. I know this quote is referring to facing our fears, but it’s still a thought that was new to me a few years ago. I use to believe that a Christian had to always be strong mentally n if you weren’t there was something wrong with you. When you live with this kind of concept there’s not much room for compassion, empathy or grace. For yourself or others. I believe good mental health is what we strive for but when there’s so much baggage, requirements, expectations, and or performing to be good enough what can we expect but a breakdown of our mental health. I’m not making reference to legit need of meds or other things for better mental health. I’m making references to when we put things on ours shoulders that were never meant for us to carry, and it’s brings us down mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. We create a scenario that is impossible to attain to and then we beat ourselves up and wonder why we are always messing up. The cycle repeats…. Remember ……❤️ Romans5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. #askGod #Hecares #sayno #stoppeoplepleasing #letgoofperfection #livewell #livefree #loveyourself #importance #priorities #countthecost #begoodtoyou #starttoday
It’s crazy how hard it is to paint little details on an alligator. Their skin has so much texture and little bits of white showing through. This was fun and frustrating. 😅🤣

When you leave college, there is a lot of pressure to find a job/career and be settled in it. The reality is that most people still need a lot of time to figure out what they want to do. Maybe you've been forcing a job/career that is not meant for you.

I’m tackling WIP (works in progress) pile over here. It seems never-ending. To be honest, it scared me to free motion swirls on this quilt. I just want it to turn out well for my family member who is wheelchair bound now. I hope he loves it and keeps him comfortable and warm. 🩵 Pic 2: practicing on a fat quarter.

Perfectionism can be a heavy burden. Remember, others often expect much less from you than you expect from yourself.

You read the books and listen to all the advice that comes your way. You plan and dream about what life with a baby will be like. And then your precious bundle arrives and seems to throw your plans out of the window. Unexpected challenges can push us to our limits and make us feel overwhelmed. It's okay! The best approach to parenting is what works for you, your baby and your family. You have permission to release the burden of perfection, to let go of the need for everything to go smoothly, and to embrace the beauty of everyday moments. Mentors and supportive communities can help us to keep this perspective. #mumlife #HeroMums #letgoofperfection

Let Go of Perfection - May 2023 🌀✨ Reflecting on a year of embracing imperfection, today we revisit our journey with the sage advice from last year’s piece. An inaugural lesson from my personal 11 part Windows 96 Yung Pueblo Fusion series, this guidance has been both liberating and challenging. 🌌📜 As we navigated through the year, letting go of perfection allowed us to explore, make mistakes, and express ourselves more freely. It’s a messy process, one that can make us feel vulnerable and exposed, yet it’s vital for growth. 🌱💥 Adopting the “70% rule” has been a practical approach: striving to achieve 70% of our goals before moving on. This iterative model encourages progress over perfection, showing us that sometimes, our initial 70% effort evolves into something greater than striving for 100% right from the start. 🚀🎯 Still, the pull towards perfection creeps in, especially under pressure. It’s a delicate balance—allowing enough structure to avoid chaos, but not so much that it stifles creativity. I definitely have not figured it out yet. As we continue this journey together, we invite you to share your own experiences: How has letting go of perfection shaped your year? 🤔🌺 . . . . . #ReflectingOnImperfection #GrowthMindset #YoungPuebloInspiration #LetGoOfPerfection #CreativeJourney #windows96 #GnomeSignals #🐉 #gnomeart #gnomelovers #bizarreart #magicspells #mixedmediaartist #trippyart #doodleart #dragonyeargrowth #lunarcyclereflections #weirdart #exwifeart #gnomelove
Yep, zo'n mama ben ik... in de avond iedereen in bed en dan laat ik de boel gewoon ff de boel... (al ga ik straks waarschijnlijk toch die bekers weer opruimen) Vroeger had ik het daar moeilijker mee. En pas op, ik heb nog altijd liever een opgeruimd huis. Maar degenen die mij écht kennen, die zullen kunnen beamen dat als ik mezelf niet gewoon ff uitzet, dat ik blijf gaan en blijf gaan. Altijd 'aan', geen rem. De boel de boel laten, heb ik moeten leren. Mijn levn liep niet altijd van een leien dakje en net daarom ik ik altijd alles perfect hebben maar je kan niet ten allen tijde álle ballen in de lucht houden. Zeker niet als dat een hele sporthal aan ballen is 😅 Dus ik zie de boel de boel laten, als zelfzorg nu. Ik heb die me-time, dat tasje thee, dat half uurtje de nacht indalen nodig om er weer tegen te kunnen. Nog moeders hier die dat herkennen? 😇💜 #itsok #letgoofperfection #mindset #selflove #selfcare #metime #loedermoeder

Perfection—a beguiling illusion that promises success but often leaves you drained of invaluable resources. Whether it's trading or life, striving for perfection can stealthily rob you of mental energy, emotional stamina, and even chip away at your self-esteem. It's a cycle that's not immediately apparent, yet it's potent enough to derail your trading progress. The quest for the 'perfect trade' or the 'perfect strategy' can become a paralyzing pursuit. It stops you from taking calculated risks and learning from mistakes—essential steps for growth in the trading world. So let go of the perfection trap; embrace the beauty of imperfection because that's where real learning and growth happen. #TradingPsychology #PerfectionIsAnIllusion #MentalTraps #EmotionalWellBeing #SelfEsteemMatters #ProgressNotPerfection #LearningFromMistakes #SetbacksAsSteppingStones #TradingJourney #TradeWisely #MentalEnergy #EmotionalResilience #TradingGoals #TradingMindset #LetGoOfPerfection #RealGrowth #IncrementalGains #TradingInsights #PracticalWisdom #RiskManagement #AdaptiveTrading #ImperfectlyPerfect #OvercomeBarriers #TradingEvolution #MindOverMarket #UnlockYourPotential #ResilientTrader #EmbraceImperfection #GrowthMindset

When your children convince you to take them somewhere to swim and suggest that you can write while they have fun. I had all the reasons why leaving the house wasn’t what I wanted to do. BUT I’m here it’s a beautiful evening. I’m working on my next task writing the transformational tale. Life has so many lessons, challenges, but when we are seeking to grow and become more there’s a fire we go through and it refines us. Some days it feels like I’ll always have to deal with this thing, but if I reflect I know there are better days ahead. Victories to be won, painful growth to be endured and in the end it will be worth it all. #growth #notfixed #mindsetmatters #keepgoing #change #poweringrowth #youcandoit #believeinyou #sayno #stoppeoplepleasing #letgoofperfection #livewell #livefree #loveyourself #importance #priorities #countthecost #begoodtoyou #starttoday
Something that I have learned on my journey to health: it's a lifelong journey. There's no place for perfectionism. But there's plenty of room for grace. Yes, I went on a cruise last week and enjoyed all the food and relaxation. I didn't stress about not working out or eating exception foods. I just was present and made memories with my family. 💞 Now I'm home. I could be angry at myself for not eating perfectly right away or having the motivation to get right back into strength training. But instead I'm remembering that this is the journey of a lifetime. Some days will be hard, but I'm not giving up! I'm giving myself grace and just doing something. Today that looked like eating salad for lunch and going for a beautiful, rejuvenating hike. Tomorrow that may look like picking up some weights. What would your journey look like if you let go of perfection and embraced grace for a lifetime? #letgoofperfection #lifelongjourney #healthjourney #thmlifestylecoach #socalthmcoach #trimhealthymama #findyoureasy #makingthmworkforyou #busymamas
One of my dear friends, Didi Roche, puts out a monthly email newsletter spanning 5 days - Mixed Media Monday, Tutorial Tuesday, Watercolor Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Freebie Friday. It's all *free* and jam-packed with lots of tips & tricks. You can go to her website and sign up to get all this Mixed Media goodness in *your* e-mail box [ https://didisdabblings.com/ ]. @didis_dabblings This month, she invited artistic friends to join her on Wednesday for the fun…and one of those friends was me! 🙌🏻👩🏻🎨 Didi explained the idea of a 'Reverse Coloring Book,' where instead of coloring, you interpret pre-provided colors. It's a twist on those adult coloring books. She experimented with watercolors, creating backgrounds for us to explore. What I received was a set of printables of her 'randomly-crafted’ designs. From there, I printed the image in different sizes, looked at the colorful blobs of watercolor, and attempted to discern a theme in the pattern. Here's my 2nd *reverse coloring* spread. I saw *flowers* this time, again defining them with pens. This print was larger, and I couldn't bear to trim any of it…so it became a 2-pager. I fussy-cut a tiny girl from @arthousewhimsy Tracy Pitchforth's "25 Vintage Style Images from the Past" printable, and cut a slot to nestle her behind the *bushes*. There's bits of fabric & ribbon from @ricki_ticki_tavy #rttjournaltribe #BricolageFactoryPatreonTribe recent monthly mailing. To complete this miniature #elegantgrunge layout, I cut out words from free art journal scans by @autumn_jen_ Autumn Jen. My dear, sweet @suznok sent me a *get well* bundle which included this @tim_holtz spiral journal into which I arranged my collage elements, including flowers from our yard I've been drying. Of course, it all goes into my artistic funnel and this is the outcome. Thank you, Lord, for guiding my hands to share Your Word through Your gift. 👩🏻🎨🌿🌈💐🙌🏻✝️😇🤎🩵🧡☮️ ●

As a professional who is paid to simplify spring cleaning, let me assure you— no matter how much time you spend decluttering, organizing, and cleaning, there will always be something else to do. This is why mindset is so important. You must set reasonable expectations for yourself and your home. Otherwise, you’ll drive yourself mad trying to achieve perfection (which simply isn’t attainable). Try setting goals regarding how you want to use or enjoy your space, like: - I want to host family BBQs in our backyard and have enough space for people to socialize without gardening equipment or old toys getting in the way. - I want my teenage children to be able to watch movies with their friends in the basement, so our main living room can be a dedicated adult space. - I want to be able to host visitors in our guest bedroom without having to spend hours packing away my scrapbooking materials each time. By focusing on use and enjoyment, there’s less pressure to achieve your desired outcome in a specific way. Instead, you put yourself in a situation where there are multiple solutions, increasing your likelihood of success. #proorganizer #newrichmondmoms #stcroixvalley #letgoofperfection #simplysorty
Happy Monday! Today is a good day to be happy. Because life is too short to be anything but happy. When we realize that we don't have to let circumstances dictate our happiness, a whole world of possibility opens up. Recently, life has thrown some curve balls my way personally and professionally. From my dad being injured in a fire to lots of changes and busy times at work. I'm grateful for my happiness formula and the resilience it brings. I'm grateful for my dad's recovery and my mom's amazing love and support to him. I'm grateful for the wonderful people I work with as we navigate change and an abundance of work to do. What parts of the happiness formula will you tap into this week? Presence. Gratitude. Balance. Let Go.

This one’s for you whether you are: a) A perfectionist and think you need to know EVERYTHING before you put yourself out there. (I have news for you, you know everything you possibly need to know right now, to just take the next step and show up!) OR b) Someone who loves to wing it (ah-hem, me!) but sometimes feels guilty about that, thinking you should be more prepared. Some of us operate 100x’s better under pressure and ‘winging it’ allows us to be fully in the moment, which is honestly where all the magic happens. Either way, you’re allowed to wing it! Are you A or B? Leave me a comment and let me know! #TrustYourself #EmbraceTheMoment #LetGoOfPerfection #WingIt #LifeUnscripted #UnderPressure #StepOutOfYourComfortZone #justdoit

This something I am doing for my book. I’d love your help! Thanks 😊 As I’m writing I’m thinking about the experiences on my journey which has led me to change the path I was on…. These are some of the questions I had to ask myself. How many resonates with you? Please share in comments or DM me. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. What helped you if you are past some of these challenges? 1. What did you struggle with the most? 2. What have you changed in the last three years- five years? 3. What would a change in your life do for you? 4. What do you want to do differently? 5. How’s your health? 6. What are you doing for your health? 7. What about your overall health? 8. How will taking care of your health impact your future? 9. Does it matter to you that you take good care of your health? 10. Why would it matter to you? 11. Do you know what it looks like to have a healthy life? 12. Are you always trying to please everyone? 13. Why would you try to please everyone? 14. Does it have anything to do with being a good Christian? Stories or lies we believe as truths. 15. Do you believe that caring for yourself is selfish? What makes that so? 16. What does the picture of living a good, fulfilling life look like for you? Or maybe fulfilling isn’t a concept you think about ? And if not, why not?

👆🏻This quote right here is one of the main ones that led me to naming my business Inspiring Organization. ❤️ It’s so easy in today’s world to see perfectly curated Pinterest boards and social media feeds and want that look, but what is realistic? With busy families and lives, perfectionism certainly is not. You can aim for a specific look but your home has to be one that can be lived in and maintained... kids, husbands, and all! ☺️ My goal in working with you is to create systems that are practical and functional in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. They should be streamlined and efficient and everyone from the youngest to the oldest should be able to use them without fear of disturbing “the look”. Feeling the need to keep up with a perfectly organized aesthetic shouldn’t add stress to your life, after all. When your days flow a little easier then it opens the door for inspiration in other areas of your life. May your home be one less obstacle in living the life you want to live. ✨ Quote by Melissa Michaels
Your personal development journey is most detrimental to your life and where you will go. Who you choose as a partner is also a detrimental key to success in your life because they should be pushing you to strive the best with regard to what it is you are working towards and where you are going on your personal journey. When you choose love over your goals, you lose sight of the vision of where you are personally going. Yes, you have your comfort at that given point in time, but if you get comfortable, your lover will lose sight of who you are because you have become a person they didn’t meet… • • • • #personaldevelopment #selfimprovement #growthmindset #neverstoplearning #bettereveryday #reachforyourdreams #chaseyourgoals #livefully #livewithpassion #findyourpurpose #livewithintention #pursuehappiness #liveconsciously #findyourjoy #choosejoy #embracechange #letgoofperfection #nonjudgment #selfacceptance #innerpeace #selflove #compassion #kindness #gratitude #visionboard #dreamboard #inspirationboard #lifepurpose #fyp #motivation
💪 Focus on your strengths and make the most of them. Let go of the rest and keep moving forward! For me it is always a struggle of letting go of perfectionism. 🌟 #StayPositive #FocusOnStrengths #KeepMovingForward #letgoofperfection 💼👊
In a world that often champions the glossy, airbrushed images of perfection, making the conscious decision to let go of the need for perfection is both liberating and revolutionary. It's an acknowledgment that flawlessness is an unrealistic standard, and that our imperfections are not just to be tolerated but embraced. This embrace is not a sign of defeat but a declaration of authenticity. It's understanding that our quirks, mistakes, and unique differences are what make us human, adding depth and texture to our lives. By accepting our imperfections, we open the door to genuine self-improvement, one that is motivated by love and acceptance rather than criticism and comparison. Choosing to let go of perfectionism is an act of self-compassion that allows us to live more fully in the present moment. It empowers us to take risks, learn from failure, and celebrate progress over perfection. This mindset shift can lead to a more fulfilling life, where our energy is spent on what truly matters to us, rather than being consumed by an unattainable ideal. Embracing imperfection fosters resilience, encourages creativity, and strengthens connections with others, as we recognize the shared imperfection in our human experience. It's a journey towards inner peace, where we learn to be kind to ourselves and find beauty in the perfectly imperfect. #EmbraceImperfection #LetGoOfPerfection #SelfCompassion #AuthenticLiving #FlawedAndFabulous #PerfectlyImperfect #BeRealNotPerfect #GrowthMindset #CelebrateProgress #SelfAcceptance #LoveYourQuirks #ImperfectionIsBeauty #AuthenticSelf #Resilience #Creativity #InnerPeace #Mindfulness #LivingFully #HumanExperience #KindnessMatters #BeautyInImperfection

I've listed below everyone who I need to thank for this spread, all of whom have ephemera/inspiration represented: 👩🏻🎨 For this flippy, #everythingbutthekitchensink #elegantgrunge duo of tags, I started with a couple of large ones from my dear friend, @soul_positive Kristi Nazzaro 🩷🤎 👩🏻🎨 I was inspired by recent botanical loose sketches & equally-loose coloring techniques from @alteredstatesstudio Kristin Peterson (and her washi tapes are layered in the background). I duplicated my sketch from the pink side to a used teabag and added dried flower petals from my yard. There's #driedbotanicals on both tags 👩🏻🎨 Big thanks to DeeDee for the opportunity to secure a 2024 Artist Almanac #artistalmanac2024 These tags were inspired by @christinekarpiak Christine Karpiak's March 16 & April 3 colleges. Also, @lauramixedmedia Laura Dame's from March 24th and @Raspberrybluesky Michelle Schratz's from March 27th. I found compatible elements in them, and transferred that to my tags 👩🏻🎨 Tracy of @arthousewhimsy for the awesome film strip & hearts printables (double-layered with foam tape) 👩🏻🎨 @ricki_ticki_tavy for the tea bag (and resultant pink dye I *brewed*) & tags & tissue (from her Patreon #rttjournaltribe #BricolageFactoryPatreonTribe ) 👩🏻🎨 @arttobasic.color.lab package that I experimented with using tea-brewed-water to activate! I layered the colors and let dry between applications. Thank you Mette @arttobasic for sending these out! 👩🏻🎨 @artfoamies stamps that always add the perfect textural yet subtle touch 👩🏻🎨 @deedeecatron and @umwowstudio for the aged tape 👩🏻🎨 On the blue side I used washi tape by @dinawakley @ranger_ink for the quote 👇
I’ve come to the hard realisation that I have spent years disguising my procrastination as perfectionism, when in fact consistency is much more important than perfection. This revelation has shifted my focus from the unattainable ideal of flawlessness to the power of steady progress. Embracing consistency over perfection has not only accelerated my growth but also alleviated the pressure that came with the pursuit of the impossible. It’s in the daily efforts, the commitment to show up and do the work, even when it’s not perfect, that true transformation happens. This approach has taught me resilience, allowed for creativity to flourish, and most importantly, it has shown me that progress, no matter how small, is infinitely more valuable than standing still in the pursuit of perfection. #seasonalglo #explore #explorepage #quote #inspiration #seasonalglolashes #progressoverperfection #embracethejourney #consistencyiskey #growthmindset #dailyprogress #letgoofperfection #showupforyourself #imperfectaction #keepmovingforward #realoverperfect #steadygrowth #buildresilience #creativityflows
Feeling tangled up in the pursuit of perfection? You're not alone. 🌟 So many of us chase this elusive idea of being perfect, putting immense pressure on ourselves, and inadvertently spreading that to those we love. But here's a gentle reminder: perfection is just a concept, one that can cause more harm than good. It's okay not to meet that impossible standard. In fact, it's time to embrace a liberating truth - being imperfect is not just okay; it's beautifully human. 🌱 Imagine shifting from the relentless pursuit of perfection to celebrating your true self, with all its unique imperfections. It's about opening up to vulnerability, showing the world your authentic self, and understanding that it's in these moments we find our deepest connections and strengths. 🤗 I'm here to support you with this! My coaching program, Uncover The Power Within, is a sanctuary for growth, teaching you practices to break free from the chains of self-criticism, and step into a life of greater freedom, connection, and purpose. 🚀 Join us to heal yourself, find peace in the midst of uncertainty, and embrace the vibrant, joyful life you're meant to live. 🌈 #LetGoOfPerfection #EmbraceVulnerability #AuthenticJourney #UncoverThePowerWithin
🎨 MAKE A MESS 🎨 We finally had our Holi celebrations over the weekend … And I love seeing my kids making a massive mess without anyone telling them to stop or to clean up. They just get to enjoy themselves. And so do the adults 😅 Kids are natural mess makers 😆 👩💼But as we grow up we forget the value of play 👩💼We forget to have fun 👩💼We forget to allow ourselves to make some mess We want everything perfect and just right 👌 We feel we need to proof ourselves and grow up 🙋♀️ We want things to look “𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍” 👩💻 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 … 🤷♀️ 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦? 🤷♀️ 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘸𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦? 🤷♀️ 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴?

But you probably have learned from creating a 100 𝐦e𝐬s𝐲 𝐩o𝐬t𝐬 … You have probably learned what resonates with your audience, how the algorithm works, which kind of posts get more engagement, how to improve you copy and so on, from imperfect and messy posts.

Will the voice of self love reign today? The one that knows that something is better than nothing and perfection is just an illusion that buries us deeper and deeper into our own dysfunctional story. Or will you allow your super critical, judgmental voice take control? You know, the one filled with shoulds, not-good-enoughs, and an all or nothing approach to eating and living. The voice that leads to bingeing and then restricting and then yo-yo dieting until all you know is a chaotic relationship to food and body. That voice. Will you give THAT VOICE the power it does NOT deserve? The decision is yours to make … choose wisely. #thursdaytruth #toughdecisions #healthychoices #mindyourmind #letgoofperfection #recoveredpeoplepleaser #noshoulds #youareenough #imperfectlyperfect #emotionaleating #yoyodieting #edawareness #bingeeatingrecovery #foodfreedom #antidiet #boardcertifiedhealthcoach #helpingwomenthrive #alifeinbalancewithadina

Chasing perfection can be like running after the horizon—always out of reach. Let's change the pace. 🌿Tips to manage perfectionism: ✨ Embrace your humanity—perfection is not the goal, growth is. ✨ Talk back to the voice that says you're not enough. ✨ Self-care isn't selfish; it's essential. ✨ Aim for great, not perfect—set goals that stretch you, not stress you. ✨ Support is strength, not a weakness. Reach out if you need to. Celebrate the small wins and learn from the stumbles. They’re not just ok; they’re key to true progress. 🎯 #EmpoweringMinds #LetGoOfPerfection #SelfLove #GrowthJourney #MindfulLiving

Most of the time there will be a pressure to do things in a perfect way. Many people find this as a productive trait and few of them say this as a strength. But perfectionism kills creativity and breeds more stress. Certainly this leads to lot of mental health issues as we expect everything to be done in perfect way and we tend to lose ourselves in that process. Are you a perfectionist????

Blessings of Easter to all my friends & family! I wanted to do a "quick" (😹😹😹) page for Easter Sunday, so I grabbed this cute little Bricolage journal & mini box of ephemera by the incredible @ricki_ticki_tavy from her #rttjournaltribe #BricolageFactoryPatreonTribe Patreon group. I found one *spread* in this mini-mini (that's no larger than a clothespin) that had a flip-out on the left side. So I chose some papers from @arthousewhimsy Tracy's new "A Mixed Media Spring - Parts 1 & 2" printables (some using double-layered with foam tape) and set out on an Easter- morning-joy spread inspired by an incredible digital creation by @lmgdonahue Lou Ann Donahue. There's also a bit of "+ - ribbon" and some leftover stencil giblets from @deedeecatron and @umwowstudio that seemed to belong on my little Easter tribute. The words on the right side *cross* are printables from my friend @karatootie Ingrid Carlsen. In actuality, this took me a couple of hours... but what a joy to work so tiny with such a huge message! Of course, it all goes into my artistic funnel and this is the outcome.

Perfection is an illusion, a relentless chase with no finish line. Among the 7.8 billion on this planet, not one person holds the secret to perfection, because it simply does not exist. 🌍 This unrealistic pursuit stems from a deep-seated fear—the fear of not being 'enough.' It’s time to confront this fear, to call it out and strip it of its power over you. When you do, you’ll find a life of peace and flow waiting for you on the other side. Call to Action: Take a moment today to acknowledge one area of your life where you’ve been pressuring yourself to be perfect then choose to release that burden. Set yourself free! Share in the comments what step you are committing to take to embrace your true self, imperfections and all. This is how you can step into a life of serenity and strength. #LetGoOfPerfection #PerfectlyImperfect #FindPeaceNow
Seeking perfection can lead to undue stress. Embrace reasonability and let go of the need for perfection.

Title: "The Courage to Be Vulnerable: Embracing Your Authentic Self" In a world that often rewards perfection, the act of being vulnerable can be revolutionary. When we embrace our authentic selves, we open the door to deeper connections and personal growth. Brené Brown, author and researcher, has studied the power of vulnerability. In her TED talk, "The Power of Vulnerability," Brown shares, "Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity, and change. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity." (Link: https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_the_power_of_vulnerability) Embracing vulnerability means having the courage to show up as our true selves, even when it's scary. It means sharing our stories and struggles, trusting we'll be met with compassion. When we're vulnerable, we create space for others to do the same. We foster connection, recognizing our shared humanity is rooted in our imperfections as much as our strengths. Being vulnerable isn't easy. It means stepping outside our comfort zones, risking rejection. But living authentically is deeply rewarding. By embracing our true selves, we tap into creativity, resilience, and joy that can transform our lives. As you navigate vulnerability and authenticity, be gentle with yourself. Surround yourself with those who celebrate the real you. Your courage to be vulnerable is a powerful catalyst for growth. Quote: "Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are." - Brené Brown Question: Where could you practice more vulnerability? What holds you back from embracing your true self? #CourageToBeVulnerable #EmbraceAuthenticity #BreneBrown #PowerOfVulnerability #RadicalSelfAcceptance #AuthenticConnections #BelongingThroughVulnerability #CelebrateImperfections #FosterCompassion #JoyfulAuthenticity #SupportiveTribe #VulnerabilityIsStrength #LetGoOfPerfection #TrustTheJourney #LiveYourTruth

🌟✨ Overcoming Perfection Paralysis with Timely, Aligned Action It's so easy to fall into the trap of waiting... and waiting... for the 'right' moment. But here's a truth worth embracing: the 'perfect' time is a myth. It's timing and aligned action that truly set the stage for breakthroughs and growth. 🕰️ Timing: Understand that every moment holds potential. It’s not about waiting for perfection but seizing the opportunities as they come, ready or not. 💫 Aligned Action: Listen to your intuition. More often than not, it nudges you to act long before you feel 'ready.' Trust that internal guidance system; it’s rarely wrong. 🚫 Overcoming Perfection Paralysis: Perfection is an illusion that stalls progress. Embrace the beautifully imperfect journey of action, learning, and evolving. Remember, progress, not perfection, fuels growth and success. Let go of the paralysis of perfectionism, and step into the flow of action and opportunity. Your time is now. 🐉

Striving for perfection? Call or text for insights. . #LetGoOfPerfection #EmbraceImperfection #PsychicAdvice
The goal isn't to be perfect.... There is no such thing as perfect. Striving for perfection is not healthy, it can lead to stress, anxiety, depression, burnout and other health issues. We all have flaws and make mistakes, it is part of being human. As long as we strive for perfection we will never feel good enough. Only when we accept ourselves as we truly are can we see ourselves as worthy and good enough. This can be a journey of self-discovery, letting go of limiting beliefs, it can involve removing the masks we wear to protect us, it can take courage, it can take vulnerability and it can take healing. What would it be like to live as your true authentic self? 🧡🧡🧡 #letgoofperfect #letgoofperfection #healperfectionism #selfacceptance #selfworth #selflove #authenticself #trueself #selfdiscovery #healing #healingjourney #healingtrauma #trauma #traumahealing #traumainformed #mentalwellbeing #mentalhealth #mentalwellness #anxiety #depression #burnout #burnoutrecovery #burnoutprevention
🌟 Unlocking the Truth About Perfectionism: Insights from a Hypnotherapist 🧠💫 🎒 The desire to be “perfect” often originates from our earliest experiences, deeply ingrained in our unconscious mind long before we can even recall. As children, we made unconscious decisions that if we were perfect, we could avoid certain unpleasant experiences like criticism, failure, or feelings of inadequacy. However, perfectionism is merely a symptom of deeper-rooted beliefs formed during childhood. To truly let go of perfection, we must first examine and reshape these underlying beliefs that no longer serve us. 🌱 💼 Letting go of perfectionism is akin to shedding a heavy backpack; suddenly, you can breathe freely, fully embracing life's imperfections and opportunities for growth. When we release the notion of perfection, we grant ourselves the freedom to be authentic, to make mistakes, and to explore new paths without fear of judgment or failure. Perhaps most importantly, letting go of perfection allows us to reclaim our true selves. Perfection is an illusion—an unattainable standard that stifles our creativity and hinders our ability to fully experience life's joys and challenges. 🌈 💪 It's time to release the burden of perfectionism and embrace the beauty of imperfection. By letting go of the need to be perfect, we grant ourselves permission to savor life's moments, to pursue our passions wholeheartedly, and to cultivate genuine connections with ourselves and others. Are you ready to break free from the chains of perfectionism and rediscover the joy of authenticity? Let's embark on this transformative journey together.

So I was trying this camera trick I saw someone post on here. I tried to get the perfect shot, but as you can see, I failed, half my face is cut off. And you know what? That’s okay. Life is full of moments where we aim for perfection, only to end up with something beautifully imperfect. Whether it’s a selfie, a new project, or just a day in our lives, the pursuit of perfection can sometimes hold us back from appreciating the good in the imperfect. Let this be a reminder that it’s okay to embrace our flaws and move forward, even if things aren’t exactly how we envisioned them. Sometimes, the most memorable and meaningful moments come from the unexpected twists and turns. So, here’s to letting go of perfection and embracing the beauty in the imperfect. Let’s take that leap, start that new venture, and appreciate the journey, imperfections and all #LetGoOfPerfection #TakeActionNow #LifeUnfiltered #AuthenticSelf #RealLifeMoments #FlawsAndAll #PerfectlyImperfect
