Perfection is a myth. It's a myth that's been perpetuated by societal expectations, parental guilt trips, and the Instagram filters of others.
But what's the harm in being perfect, you ask? Well, let's see:
- It's exhausting
- It's demoralizing
- It's a never-ending cycle of disappointment and disillusionment
So, how do we let go of perfection? How do we break free from the shackles of expectation and the weight of our own ego? It starts with:
- Self-reflection
- Self-compassion
- Self-acceptance (of your own and others' imperfections)
And that's where our journey begins.
