I’m a big believer that regular journaling can help us build a better relationship with our intuition, which in turn helps us to keep prioritising our joy. We keep trying to line up all the little ducks in a row, to smooth out the rough spots, and to shore up all the wobbly places, still convinced that if we get our act together, we finish the huge project, our health clears up, we get a raise, or we can just get things right, we can finally be joyful.

I also accepted my imperfections rather than beat myself up for not being perfect (or being able to work anymore).

I was going to work hard on changing my mindset and not allowing what happened to me to control my life. When trials expose our faith-life, will others see us embracing both the joy and the pain of our life?The antidote to perfectionism is acceptance - acceptance of our earthly imperfections because we are focused on the day when imperfection will be no more.
