A blog of random ramblings. 2018 brought a new focus on things relating to massage, reiki, crystal therapy, metaphysical and new age things, as well as a bit of Christianity too.

Permission of imperfection
Perfectionism is one of my weakest areas. I'm constantly berating myself for not doing something right, for having imperfections. Constantly thinking people are seeing these imperfections and talking behind their hands to others about these imperfections. I make the imperfections worse in my mind and define myself about these imperfections of mine. It is all very tiring and pretty much my own imagination working against me. So, one of the things I'm going to do is give myself permission to be imperfect, to love me for who I am right now...even though that is a broken and empty shell of a person. I am working on the broken and empty parts. And I know in deepest parts of myself, that people like me just as I am. There is a lot more I want to post on this topic, but I'm not there yet. I know only a few people still read this, but that involves exposing a very big imperfection in me....and I'm not that strong and free from perfectionism yet.

As I know you already know this but YOU are your own worst enemy. Nobody is perfect and we all struggle with imperfection. People that truly care about you will love and accept you for you, just the way you are! It's ok to not do something perfect. I know I struggle with this very same thing and you are on the right track and road to better yourself since you have openly admitted to this fault. Go YOU! Just know I'm backing you up and supporting you all the way!
