Isn't it wonderful and freeing to be able to accept ourselves as imperfect?

I used to think if I was "an idiot" I might as well be dead. Wow! What a revelation to remember that it's okay. As usual, you really have a way of putting things that really just makes so much sense!Marj aka Thriverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825698906631474866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20677845.post-46707492845927398032008-03-24T10:01:00.000-07:002008-03-24T10:01:00.000-07:00Karma, Yeah, that seems to be how most of us see ...Karma, Yeah, that seems to be how most of us see ourselves. But how wonderful when we change that default to one where we love and accept ourselves!<BR/><BR/>Jumping in Puddles, LOL! <BR/><BR/>Ah, Keepers, I'm smiling to see that you've reached this point in your life. Good for you!!!<BR/><BR/>Enola, I often have to remind myself to take a deep breath and relax, to remember that it will all be okay and there is a reason for what's happening. (I'll go over lists of times I've thought I was making a mistake but nothing terrible happened OR it turned out it wasn't a mistake after all...)<BR/><BR/>Marj, I'm grinning at your comment, too. WTG!!!<BR/><BR/>Gypsy Heart, I love it! Yes, absolutely right--we want to take back our power.

I call myself an imperfect perfectionist so I totally understand where you are coming from.<BR/><BR/>My motivation used to be proving to people from my past (family) that I was not what they said or how they tried to make me feel. Good things happened..but I realized I was still giving them my power. <BR/>The best thing was when I stopped caring what they said/say or thought/think. It was a powerful unfolding ...I see the same power in you now!! <BR/>Keep going and growing girl...you are wonderful!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20677845.post-27749401807788205022008-03-19T08:56:00.000-07:002008-03-19T08:56:00.000-07:00Thanks for this post--it's a great reminder.

Good work!<BR/><BR/>I, personally, think it is a HUGE thing to see that you are not an idiot. I'm not an idiot, either. Phhhewww! What a relief! ;)<BR/><BR/>And, I totally get the thing about enjoying admitting mistakes. It's cool, isn't it? I try to admit my mistakes to my own child and I consider this a gift to him. We all make mistakes and it's okay. Mom is human, too! :)Marj aka Thriverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825698906631474866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20677845.post-81374222692910011562008-03-17T05:44:00.000-07:002008-03-17T05:44:00.000-07:00I don't allow myself to make mistakes without beat...I don't allow myself to make mistakes without beating myself up continuosly.

I once had a cognitive behavioral therapist tell me that I'd experience less anxiety in general if I gave myself more permission to make mistakes and was more forgiving with myself when I did that. I tend to find that I'm harder on myself with this than others.Karmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10708512001313683928noreply@blogger.com
