Learn To Embrace Imperfections

When you start scrolling through all the social media platforms, you might get the feeling that there is no place for imperfections. And let me tell you – you’re not the only one feeling this way.

Each picture and post has been so meticulously edited that they rarely reflect the full truth. But we all know this is just one big façade. Each of us carries our own burdens. You might feel like you’re not being good or that you’re doing well enough. In short, you just feel imperfect.

However, you should know that our wholeness isn’t built upon perfection. On the contrary, it comes when we learn to embrace imperfections.

Overcoming perfectionism is easier said than done. It means that you have to let go of all of your expectations and prove your worthiness. But once you learn how to do that and accept all of your flaws, you’ll see just how beautiful you are. Better yet, you won’t even try to fix anything.

The Myth Of Being Perfect

Perfection has been deeply integrated into our minds from a very young age. For instance, when you were younger in school, it might have been expected of you to deliver tests with perfect scores. Even if you lost a single point, you’ve probably felt like you’ve lost.

Of course, this sense of perfection further develops as we grow and becomes something much bigger. The feelings you once felt over being imperfect make you anxious, disconnected, and simply not enough. But this is just perfection playing mind tricks.

When you embrace imperfections, you break the cycle that may have been turning since your childhood. You stop chasing ideals and start building a relationship with yourself that’s built on truth, softness, and compassion. Instead of fixing yourself for others’ approval, you grow into the person you truly are.

An Act Of Self-Love

Embracing imperfections isn’t a sign of weakness. In fact, that couldn’t be farther from the truth! Self-acceptance is one of the strongest acts of bravery. It’s saying “This is who I am, and I love every single part of myself, no matter how imperfect it may be.”. Every experience that you’ve gone through, either good or bad, has made you into the person you are today – strong, resilient, and incredibly beautiful.

Each part of yourself tells a story. And that story is worth being told – not after you edit it, but as it is.

For those of you wondering how to accept imperfections, take a good look at yourself – both from the inside and out. When you see something you don’t like, don’t see it as a flaw, but rather something that makes you unique and stand out from the rest. Over time, this mindset will become a habit, and embracing imperfections won’t seem like the hardest thing in the world!
