I love being able to subscribe to blogs because sometimes I get to read such wonderful and insightful pieces of work. This one in particular, I just have to share. I've had this thought of perfection on my brain for a while now...people (women especially) who avoid becoming healthy or adopting a healthy lifestyle because they feel like they are being forced into someone else's definition of what they should be or how they should look. They may try for a bit, and when they don't 100% succeed, they back off in order to avoid being termed a failure.
I don't know Tomianne (she is a friend of a friend and has sucked me into her blog), but her perspective on "fitting yourself in a glass box" is really...well, perfect.
Maybe it's the words you need to hear today to get you moving in the right direction...if so, then far-be-it for me not to share: No Such Thing as Perfect.
If it speaks to you, please don't hesitate to leave her a note. It's hard to lay your heart out on the Internet and not get feedback. Enjoy!!
Wow, thank you so much for these kind words! One of your readers told me about your link to my blog, so I had to come find you. I'm so glad what I wrote hit home for you. I know exactly what you mean about how this applies to fitness, because I'm on that same journey myself. Thanks so much for sharing the link.
ReplyDeleteSo now I'm curious -- who is our mutual friend?
