“Now and then it’s good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy”
~Guillaume Apollinaire

I often get torn between the idea of changing to make myself better and just accepting myself as I am.

For most of my life I thought there was something about me that needed to be fixed and I became compulsive in this search to fix my brokenness.

I know most of you can relate to this when it comes to your weight.

We often think we will be happy once we reach our goal weight or fit into our clothes better and yes you’re right this is a form of happiness, but it’s a perfectionist way of finding manufactured happiness.

If we spend our whole lives preparing for being great we don’t actually get to enjoy being great.

Performers spend time in their dressing room to get ready for the big show and then they go on stage and let their greatness be seen.

When are you going to leave the dressing room and let yourself be seen just as you are?

We stay in the dressing room because we don’t feel quite perfect enough to show up.

There will never be a time in our lives when we feel perfect enough to get on the stage of life.

We need to learn to embrace all that we are and have compassion for all that we aren’t.

When we show ourselves compassion, it makes getting up on stage much more enjoyable because we don’t have crazy expectations for ourselves and we can just be as we are.

The opposite of self-acceptance is perfectionism and just for today I encourage you to practice allowing yourself to be seen, heard, and felt just as you are.

Bring all the messiness that is life and being human to the table because no one can relate to someone who thinks they have it all together.

We relate to realness and my brokenness will always hold space and honour your brokenness, but you need to find the courage to show up in versions of you that maybe you don’t want to.

Through relating to others in what you deem as broken you realize it’s actually just part of being human.

Through these vulnerable connections we begin to feel whole in our brokenness because we realize we aren’t actually broken at all, we are just human beings navigating our way through this complex journey of life.
