Perfectionism

When I was younger, I often felt like I had to meet certain standards that I thought were expected of me. (can anyone relate?) Those standards were unrealistic, but they stuck with me into adulthood. Why do we carry these expectations from our younger selves into our grown-up lives?

I think it's because those early experiences had a big impact on how we see ourselves, our self-worth & self-love. To change this, I'm trying to recognize when I'm being too hard on myself and remembering that those old standards weren't realistic. To live in the present and plan for the future. I can acknowledge the little girl I was, but it's time to lean into my true perfectly imperfect authentic self.

By sharing what I'm learning, I hope to help others let go of the idea of being perfect. I want to show that it's okay to grow, make mistakes, and not always have everything figured out. This journey is ongoing, but I'm committed to reframing the way I see myself and inspiring others to do the same. 

Living authentically requires honesty with oneself. It involves acknowledging and accepting one’s strengths, weaknesses and imperfections without judgement. To let go of what no longer serves you and honor your unique path of creating a beautiful life. 

I think it's time that we all challenge our childhood beliefs and reframe them into something more positive and empowering!
