Have you sought out your marigolds? Are you a marigold for someone else?
A Dive Into Perfectionism
We tell this to our children and clients all the time because we know how damaging the drive towards perfection can be. Yet we do little to cultivate this same attitude within ourselves. Think about how many times you consciously or unconsciously compare yourself to someone else. Or to a social media post. Or a Pinterest picture. Why do we do this?
One practice that can intensify our feelings of disillusionment is the concept of perfectionism and the belief that in order to be successful we must be doing all of the "right things" right away and not experiencing struggle, failure, or self-doubt. Nothing could be further from the truth or more damaging. When we let ourselves fall victim to the act of comparison and the thought of "nothing less than perfect," we challenge our very worth as human beings, professionals and educators.
