DiveThru – Jumpstart Day 5

Todays prompt – What can I let go of in order to have more balance?

There’s a lot of little hobbies I could let go of but I don’t really want too. I enjoy them and want them to be in my life. Maybe I could let go of the ridiculously high standards I hold myself to. Not everything has to be perfect. I don’t have to have my shit together! Heck, I’m only 21 years old…. The people I admire were not where they are now at 21. I’m on my way to where I want to be. Life is a journey, not a destination. Okay, so which high standards can I let go of (or ease up on)? For starters, I don’t need a million dollar, gigantic home. I can make my small house a home. House size does not equal success. I don’t have to be a model…. I’m a mom. My body has been through a whole lot. I should let go of trying to fit into my size 2 high school jeans. Lets be real, it’s not going to happen. Especially because I want more kids. I don’t have to prepare beautiful, home cooked meals all the time. I actually don’t do this at all… but I give myself a really hard time about it. I should just let that go and accept that I hate cooking. Probably won’t ever like it or be good at it. My makeup / skin isn’t going to be perfect all the time. Accept my skin for my skin. It’s what God gave me. A big one, stop taking on so much at once. I have all the time in the world to be successful, reach goals and try new things. I don’t have to do it all right now!!!!!!!
