Your post really resonates with me, especially the part about embracing imperfections. It reminds me of when I first started recognizing how much energy I was wasting trying to chase this idea of perfection. I think it’s such a brave step to acknowledge that those tough days are still part of the process.
It sounds like you’ve developed some really solid strategies! I’ve found that journaling can be a powerful tool too. It’s like having a conversation with myself, and sometimes I’m surprised by what I uncover on the page. How do you feel that journaling has shifted your perspective on things?

Journaling has been a lifesaver for me too. I find it’s a way to sort through the chaos in my mind and put things into perspective. It’s amazing how just writing things down can help you feel less overwhelmed. And mindfulness practices? They’ve made a world of difference. I often catch myself just taking a few deep breaths when I feel those perfectionist tendencies creeping back in. It’s like a reset button.
I admire how you’ve leaned on your loved ones for support. That’s something I’ve been working on as well. It’s so easy to feel isolated when you’re caught in that cycle of needing everything to be perfect, but sharing those feelings really helps lighten the load.
