Perfectly Imperfect [Lessons Learned] - The Diva Of Love

§ “Imperfection is perfection.” Said the musician Flume and I would agree. We are all perfect in our imperfections because these imperfections are perfect for us. They ARE us. We should celebrate them.

§ Embracing and even celebrating your imperfections is really about accepting everything as it is now, including yourself.

§ You need to love everything about yourself – yes, even your rolls, wrinkles, bruises, scars, aches and pains, silliness and mistakes.

§ Who has to say what is perfect anyway? It is relative and subjective. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone is going to appreciate you, just as you will not appreciate everyone. The important thing is that you appreciate yourself.

§ We have all made mistakes in our life, but those missteps have led us to where we are now, who we are now, regardless of the imperfection.

§ Whether your flaws or imperfections are physical, mental, emotional or experiential, you can embrace them and appreciate them, use them to your advantage.

§ I recently read this article about the steps to embrace your imperfections that I wanted to share with you:
1. Find the positive side of your flaws (shift self-perception / perspective)
2. Realize that your imperfections make you human (let go of the need to conform to any unrealistic standards)
3. Take inspiration from art (which is rarely perfect, neither is nature)
4. Focus on flow instead of perfection (set realistic goals rather than perfect ones)
5. Surround yourself with positive voices (those who accept you as you are – flaws and all)
6. Use your imperfections to help others (sharing your experience with others who are struggling helps you embrace your own imperfections)

§ Expecting perfection from yourself is unrealistic. Instead, live a more authentic life and celebrate who you are, be confident in who you are.

§ POST IT NOTE: I let go of my need for perfection
