As a recovering perfectionist this all resonates (ahem) perfectly!
I have a friend who told me she was working on her perfectionism by setting the intention to be IN-efficient. I gasped. Let’s not go crazy! I would settle for just being on time instead of 5 minutes early.
My most memorable moment of mess transformation came from a school garden. A delightfully deliciously unkempt semi-wild school garden. I like to think that my sense of “tidy” evolved thanks to this garden. I began to see the beauty, the vitality, and yes the perfection in the chaos. I no longer deadhead compulsively, and allow plants (especially natives), to go to seed. I understand that some critter is banking on those seeds to feed themselves and their family.
Thank you Becca (and Anne and Brene) for making messes feel not only ok but actually desirable. 🙏🏽
