The cure to perfectionism lies in our ability to surrender to God. Plain and simple.

When we are perfecting every last detail of our projects, our friendships, our outfits, our bodies, to the point where it is detrimental to our well-being, we are forgetting that we are human and that ultimately, we can’t control every last detail. We want everything to be perfect because we think if it’s not and something goes awry, it is all our doing. But we need to remember that we are not God. God’s the one that takes of it.

As a body confidence coach, I see perfectionism play out in the landscape of our bodies. We want the ”perfect” body and we aren’t happy until we get it. But, the sad part is, if we do end up getting that “perfect” body, we are still not happy. Why? Because we don’t know how perfect we already are at our core. We are perfect spiritual beings living as human beings. Humans make mistakes. We do. It doesn’t mean that we ARE mistakes. Therefore, if you have a bit of cellulite on your thighs, it doesn’t mean you ARE cellulite. You have the perfect body that has some cellulite. And that makes you perfect.
