Perfection is a myth

Описание: 20 months into motherhood and I’ve finally realized this: waiting for the perfect time is just holding us back.

For too long, I found myself waiting for things to feel just right — like they once did before tiny feet were following me around.

I waited for the quiet room.
I waited for the peaceful moment.
I waited for the clean space.

I believed I needed those things in order to fully engage in the practices that once brought me peace, grounding, and a return to myself.

But those “perfect” moments? They’re fleeting these days. And if I keep waiting, I’ll miss the opportunity to care for myself at all.

So instead of waiting, I’m meeting the moment — the mess, the noise, the chaos — and choosing to engage in these practices anyway.

They may look different.
They may even feel different.
But they are no less necessary.

Because when we give so much every day, we also need ways to pour back into our own cup.

✨ Healing. Rest. Joy. Growth. None of it requires perfect timing — it just requires starting, even in the middle of the chaos.

What would shift if you stopped waiting for the “right time” and gave yourself permission to begin now?
