Letting go of perfecion...

Perfecion

Growing up I believed being right was the most important thing and that I had to be perfect. Because of this, from an early age I just didn’t try because I knew it wouldn’t be “good enough”. As an adult I have held myself back by not trying if couldn’t do it perfectly. I was so rigid, so anxious that I was doing it “wrong”. Ahhh

So as I do this blog, I am shooting for imperfection. I am letting go of the notion that there’s a “right” way to do it and just show up. I am focusing on stretching myself and having some fun along the way.

I have spend that past 14 days in quarantine after testing positive for Covid 19. I quickly learned that I needed to keep myself somewhat busy and decided to learn watercolor. As I started I felt frustrated that I wasn’t “any good” at it. The more I wanted perfection, the less fun it was and the less I learned. As I learned to just see what came out and have fun with the process of learning, I actually turned out some nice things. It was going back to surrendering how it had to look.

So what is something you have put of doing because you couldn’t do it right? Painting, dance class, wood working? I dare you to step into it and do it “wrong”. See if you can have fun being perfectly imperfect.

Much love,
