Letting go perfection

Affirmation : I embrace myself as a mother in all my perceived shortcomings and flaws.

No one is hard on me as I am. Instinctively, I want to raise my child with the positive experiences and comforts of my own childhood- and without what I found painful. I want to be a mother who meets every challenge with grace, who doesn’t succumb to frustration. Yet I accept that perfection is not real. Not for me, not for anyone.

Everyday,

I strive to do my best.

And when I don’t meet my ideal,

I can give myself the same

Empathy and understanding

that I give to my child.

This is LOVE
