"Inner Harvest" Hazelden Meditation Series Life is too short for perfectionism. Perhaps if we had an infinite amount of time on this earth, we could eventually learn how to be perfect. But because we have a limited life span, it is more realistic to accept our imperfections and enjoy ourselves in spite of them. Perfectionism was part of the problem many of us had with food. We thought we had to be the best, the brightest, the most popular, the thinnest. We used food as consolation for not meeting the impossibly high expectations others had for us or we had for ourselves. We can do ourselves a huge favor, and those we love a huge favor, by letting go of unrealistic expectations. Our program promotes the development of humility and acceptance. It teaches us that we can like and respect ourselves and others even though neither we nor they are perfect. Self-esteem and perfectionism are mutually exclusive. Here's to self-esteem! * I will not waste this precious day by trying to be perfect. |
