One of my favorite writer/bloggers posted an article yesterday titled "Everything is worth doing poorly". The gist of it is that we aren't always going to be able to give 100%. Maybe it's something new we haven't learned, maybe we're overwhelmed/burned out, maybe it is something we aren't good at... whatever the reason, just show up, do what you can, and let go of the guilt and shame associated with not being perfect or enough. I didn't think this was an issue for me but when I really thought about it I realized I am beating myself up on a fairly regular basis about not doing enough or not doing the right things, so I'm working on that.
Yesterday was a big day for messages because another artist/writer posted a piece about being radically honest with yourself about who you are, what you want and what you fear. Her sentiment that "I own my own heart" has really stayed with me and I'll be writing on it today.
