Protesting Perfect | The Gifts Of Imperfection Book Giveaway
Tags:
Today I'm joining a protest of perfection with a giveaway of my friend Dr. Brené Brown's new book The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are
I'm going to keep this simple: this book could change your life. You'll laugh, probably cry, learn a bunch about shame, resilience, kindness, letting go, compassion, mindfulness, and come out of the experience with ammunition for the fight against perfectionism.
Perfection is so over-rated. Imperfect is beautiful and real.

I am too busy to be perfect.
We were talking about perfection in my human relations class last week and it made me realize just how much I miss out on by trying to be perfect. We really limit ourselves when we try to make everything perfect, and when we don't reach perfection (which, let's face it, is pretty much all the time, nothing is ever perfectly perfect) we feel a sense of guilt like we let someone down. The only person you are letting down is the person you don't have time for because you are too busy trying to be perfect.
