I love this! I think it’s incredibly difficult to do anything correct the first try. Life is about learning, growing and being courageous enough to try new things! If we have to be perfect first go, how do we have enough confidence to try new things? In our house we have “do overs”- this applies to conversations, activities…everything. As a self proclaimed “perfectionist” it’s been a true learning experience to offer myself grace so that my son doesn’t become another “perfectionist” just like me and pick up all the anxiety that comes along with that way of life. It’s been so liberating to let that mindset go. I can even now ask for help! I am so happy to know how much better life feels living in this honest way!
Hi PJ, I truly like this concept. The world would be such a better place if people would adhere to it. Why should we expect to always get it right the 1st time? Of course we could aim for it but without cultivating pressure and anxiety because we know we’d could iterate again. That would be so helpful to release the unnecessary stress.
This is so true. Thank you for sharing this PJ. Everyone deserves to give themselves second chances with softness and pleasure
I always love reading your posts, PJ. I'm looking forward to your next offering!
