LET YOURSELF OFF THE HOOK, AND
“JUST GET THE TOP MUCK OFF” 💚
When I was younger, my late Grandmother used to say whenever she was cleaning “That’ll do, I’ve got the top muck off”… It always made me giggle because I knew what she meant by saying that.
Those words have stayed with me from being a child, and I often re-play them in my mind when I catch myself trying way too hard!
Because what my very wise Grandmother knew was - that being ‘good enough’ wasn’t about being ‘perfect’……(perfect does not exist btw!) it was about doing enough, so you can enjoy whatever you’re doing, and not be bogged down by the mental chatter of questioning whether you have done a good enough job 🤞
So, when I’m struggling to get the motivation to exercise, or clean the house. I remind myself…exercising in my PJ’s and dressing gown is better than not exercising at all…..and when I’m on cleaning duty, just cleaning the bits I can see that are dirty, is better than exhausting myself cleaning the house to a inch of my life 🧹 or not cleaning at all🫧
So give yourself a break, and remind yourself being perfect is a perfect prison, and to truly live a fulfilling life is to tell yourself…..”That’ll do, I’ve got the top muck off”
Have a wonderfully imperfect day ♥️
