True story -- I had an entire post ready to publish this morning, but decided to delete it at the last minute.
Why? Well, I basically complained for 5 paragraphs. Here's an excerpt, below:
"It's been one of those weeks. The house is covered in boxes and pet hair, we've eaten crap at every meal, and I've officially crossed the "dang girl, you need a shower" threshold. I haven't been able to think of much to share on the blog this week either. How can I post about beauty or style when I've worn a different pair of Nike shorts every day this week and my beauty routine has consisted of deodorant and a hair tie?
Making myself feel guilty for not having it all together does have to stop, though.
For you perfect people that can give yourself a salon worthy blow-out at home, close big business deals all day long, update your blog with a beautiful daily post, tend to your organic vegetable garden, workout, AND have a beautiful, wholesome meal on the dinner table every night?
I might have to skip your social media posts for a while, because I just can't with you right now."
Man, oh man. Bitter, party of one?
Of course, in moments of self-doubt, insecurity, or just mental exhaustion in general,
The Everygirl always manages to publish an article that seems to perfectly encompass my feelings and help me understand how to overcome them*. This time was no exception.
"Overcoming the Fear of Not Being Good Enough"
It was a beautiful read. Truly. I encourage you to read it, and let me know your thoughts.
Do you worry about not being "good" enough? Successful enough? Healthy enough?
Heck -- happy enough?
What do you do to overcome your insecurities?
Alright, now. It's time for this girl to grab a shower.
*Seriously, I
love that website, y'all.
