It’s Monday, let’s talk about perfectionism. My best friend and I talk about this a lot. It’s an easy thing to fall into. Obsessively trying to make everything just so. When we’re talking about it though we always agree that perfect people, if we ever met any, would suck. Perfect is phony. We can all agree on that, right? We usually end up laughing it off and wondering why we ever spent any time at all striving to be, well, sucky. I recently learned that it’s often a response to trauma. So, if you yourself don’t battle with perfectionism, maybe try to give all those overachieving control freaks at work a break. They may just be coping with their shit the best way they know how.
I’m all yoga’d up and off to work. To do my best without stressing or pressing the details into some nonexistent state of flawlessness.
Day 32: Golden Mylk Oatmeal with pistachios, blueberries and golden raisins.
I have now cracked the code on oatmeal. No, it’s not pretty but this shit is delicious.
1 cup of Milk (players choice, I suggest coconut)
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch of black pepper
few slices of fresh ginger
splash of vanilla
1 date, chopped.
Steep, stir, drink… or cook your oatmeal in it. A+
