Today, we continue with our series on Letting Go based on the writings of Veronica Ray.
So many of us grew up in situations that weren't very positive. We may have been repeatedly chastised when we made a perceived error, or maybe we just couldn't get the encouragement we needed. Our feelings were not considered, let alone our opinions. We just didn't feel seen. So this led us to believw we always had to do everythng perfectly correct.
Perfectionism
"Many of us are never satisfied, particularly with ourselves. If we score a base hit, it should be a home run. If we get a part in a play, it should be the lead, it should be a better play, theatre, director...
We never let ourselves enjoy the good things in our lives when we only want great things. The trouble is, we can't think of anything we actually attain as great. There's always something better.
Our perfectionism robs us of the ability to appreciate every step along the path of our personal development and spiritual evolution.
One thing we can be sure of is that none of us will reach perfection in this life. Remembering this certainty can help us enjoy the pleasures and accomplishments of each day.
Affirmation: I release my perfectionism and open myself to all the things to be enjoyed in my life today.
