Perfection or perception

11/10/2015

Yesterday I got on our tractor and mulched our leaves in the back yard. It looks pretty good out there.  But there are a lot of leaves in the nooks and crannies that are still there because I couldn't reach them with the mower.  And guess what?  It's making me crazy!

Why?  Because of my benchmark of perfection.  I compare our yard to my neighbor's yard. Now I have to add here that we have a couple of neighbors that are quite dedicated to their lawns. Their lawns are super lush and green most of the year..  We do not spend as much time and energy on ours.  It's a lawn.

Now let's look at the perception
  • I feel our neighbor thinks we're lazy (we have a good relationship, but...)
  • I feel bad that I can't physically do it. (guilt!)
  • I don't want to ask someone to do it for me.

How do you move forward and find your peace?  Ask yourself
  • Is it true or,
  • Is it true in my head?
  • What's the worst that could happen?
  • What's the best that could happen?

Peace comes from figuring out what really matters to you.  It's where you joyfully spend your time and energy.  And if you can't quite get thrilled about having to do something, try to re-frame how you are thinking about it and congratulate yourself for doing it anyway.

To your most peaceful self.
