To love yourself as you are is a miracle! Especially if you are someone who has high expectations and believes everything can be improved upon. I am constantly disappointed…

thinking those around me should be more responsible, disciplined, organized or charitable. When

I’m out of town, I’m certain I will find the perfect restaurant around the next corner

if I just keep driving. Or the belief that if I sign up for the right class, retreat or training, it will complete me. This perpetual seeking, but never being satisfied with what I find, is a recipe for emptiness.

That’s why I am eternally grateful for the practice of meditation and mindfulness. My practice gently reminds me to pay attention to right NOW. It’s in this space that I sense perfection (in terms of the

divine not ego). No improvement necessary…I am fully equipped. When I accept the fullness

of what is, the expectations, judgments and anxiety fall away.

The beauty is, when I practice this often enough, I tend to stay in this space longer and

longer. As a result, I appreciate people more for who they are, I take classes because they

are fun, not because it may fix a personal flaw and I love who I AM in the moment. Truly

a miracle for a perpetually recovering perfectionist.
