I just posted a huge comment about how you help with all things in my life without knowing me but as mums and wanting the best for our families and ourselves and how perfectionism can be quite upsetting at times and you know i lost the lot!

I wanted to say that your post really hit home for me about having to learn to let go of things and being able to accept what we cant change. Embracing what i can control and letting go of what i cant makes a huge difference to how i am learning to cope.
I dont compete with others for things because i feel that someone can always do something better than me and i tend to to limit myself in that respect but i am learning and getting better:)
I really enjoy visitng your blog and alot of the time i can so relate to what you have written.
Sometimes it is almost as if it has come from my heart without being able to write it. And i find myself nodding myself and agreeing wholeheartedly about what you have written.

This really hit me today. I struggle with being an overwhelmed perfectionist and it results in me not doing anything because I can’t do it perfectly. I am trying to recover from this illness. Haha. Thanks for the timely article. I love your blog.

Such thoughtful comments. Thanks everyone, so nice to know I’m not alone. This has definitely been a journey for me and one that didn’t happen overnight but the results have been amazing.

Blessings!

Great post! I struggle with the same issues. Fortunately having 7 kids makes you realize that plans B,C, and D are okay and sometimes things are even better when they don’t go according to your plan :).
Thanks for being transparent.

Great post, Laura! I am really bad for this as well. I absolutely HAVE to get things perfect, just the way I invision them in my head, or I will have a meltdown. It’s not fun but I am slowly recovering and am also trying to be okay with having to move on to plan B. Or C or D or E…

How weird! I just posted something about perfectionism and my quest to let go of that as well. Can’t wait to go read that interview! (Delurking here, but I always love your posts!)
