Katie,
I feel you. Everyone has all these priorities and we just get sucked in. We follow a mom who feeds her kids these perfect organic foods and think, “I could do that”, so we add that to the plate. We see another mom really being fit and making her health a big priority and we think “I should do that” and add that to the plate. Before we know it, the plate is completely overflowing and we have no idea how to get back to the few things that actually mattered to us in the first place. I’ve definitely been there. I’m still there I so many ways. Trying to toss everyone else’s image of what I should be and just have what I want to be.

I have sacrificed so much of myself and let the struggle of perfection replace the moments when I needed to just be available, offering my best. I recently told a friend that people will always have their opinions, but that is all that they are, just opinions. I think I need to tell myself the same thing. I needed to hear this, and it could not have come at a better time! Thank you for sharing!
