Rest is a life requirement. Hope you can take a moment this weekend to take time out. Have a great weekend!!!

Perfection is not required of anybody. Perfection increases stress. It makes it difficult to show up authentically. It is oftem seen as something that we use to control our lives, but it is actually raising our anxiety. Life is hard enough without impossible standards.

Acknowledging our value for being in the world and breathing, without expectation is a powerful step towards self validation. Lots of little miracles had to occur for us to arrive as we are. We can choose to how to use our presence on earth while we are here.

The challenges we face can mould us unconsciously. Or we can take on the challenges from a place of awareness and use them as an opportunity to gently encourage our way through them, to validate our efforts, to hold on to the fact all people deserve kindness. Kindness can be delivered in the form of boundaries, encouragement, validation, acceptance of self, acceptance of others, curiosity and understanding. Making excuses is not kind. Doing more of what we love is kind. Raising our energy to give to others is kind.

Perfection is not required.

Treating ourselves with kindness, gently encouraging and validating ouselves, learning from our perceived failures, setting healthy internal boundaries to protect from other people’s challenging behaviours, recognising our value exists for the mere fact we were born and actively choosing to use that value in a way that is helpful to ourselves and others, to do more of what we love. And to encourage those in our circle to do the same to share the triumphs and challenges from a place of love and support.
