A Note On Perfectionism as a Mom

This is what stresses me out. Stuff all over the floor, garbage needing replaced…

I put everything away the day before and it was spotless, and this is the next morning. 🤦‍♀️

But you know what? I suppose that is life. Not everything will be exactly how you envision it in your mind. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t good 🙉

I struggle a lot with my thoughts about my business in the same way I do my livingroom.

Things are a mess I tell myself.
They aren’t how they should be I tell myself. They should be better, I should be more successful by now, this will never work, I tell myself.

Those thoughts and doubts are normal.

Growth isn’t supposed to be easy.

What is important is learning to roll with the punches. Learn to accept that neither your business nor your living room will be spotless without any imperfections, and that’s okay 💕

It’s part of the journey, and you’ve got this! It’s all part of the mom life.

Xoxo,

Lia
