Words to live by. For real. Do you know how freeing it is when you let go of the need to be perfect, and just focus on being a better version of you?
That's really the way I was able to find joy in running - once I stopped comparing myself to the women around me who could run sub-seven minute miles, and instead focused on going further than I did the week before, and maybe a little faster too.
Now if only it was that easy in other aspects of my life! It's hard to recognize, sometimes. I find myself unhappy, worried that it's not good enough and not able to get anything done. It's paralyzing. And that's the most ridiculous thing about it - you're so focused on doing it perfectly, that you can't get it done. Done is better than perfect, right?
Well, it's a work in progress. Just keep reminding myself: Let go of perfection.
