I don’t know about you, but all this fresh start stuff is making me a little edgy.

I don’t know about you, but all this fresh start stuff is making me a little edgy. Should I be doing more? Is there something lacking in what I do? If I have one resolution, it’s not to judge myself against the tide of new year, new you fanaticism. I speak as a perfectionist, who has barely come to terms with the idea that (jargon alert) I am enough.. Faux positivity can take a hike too. The mindset gurus that invite you to calm the negativity, miss a valuable point. It’s okay, not to be okay, and if that means you raise a complaint or ask for help, all power to you. Whatever the day or month of the year it is, we owe it to ourselves not to bow to pressures that rub up against us like sandpaper. Let’s care for ourselves intensely, deny ourselves with extreme caution. We’re perfectly imperfect, living, breathing works in progress that don’t start in January and end in December.
