Today, I’m letting go of the pressure to be perfect. No matter what I do, I am more than enough. I don’t need to use my precious, limited energy worrying about being perfect all of the time.

It’s so hard to focus on gratitude during times of loss or hardship, but reminding yourself of the little things can help a lot. Not dwelling (but yet observing) difficult thoughts is important — but also remember that although not every day is good, there is good in every day.

Forgiveness and loving myself the way I am! When I strive for perfection, I’m usually hard on myself. No one is perfect, so why be so hard on myself? Self-love, comfort, and forgiveness can heal wounds from expectations of perfection.
