Whaaaat is this obsession with doing things perfectly?! I’ll tell you my theory: it’s our sweet way of trying to avoid uncomfortable feelings (like failure). When we demand perfection from ourselves, we can leave our work in draft form forever, never to see the light of day (or people’s criticism). Trying to avoid mistakes is akin to trying to keep your teeth sparkly white while you’re eating Oreos.

I want to share with you what works and what doesn’t when it comes to affirmations, especially if you’ve consistently employed your affirmations every day and aren’t seeing any progress toward what you’re calling in. It can be mega frustrating to not be able to figure out how to make the damn things work already.
