don’t stress it

#girlgrowth #lemon8challenge #godwillneverfail #embracevulnerability

throughout my life i’ve struggled with being a perfectionist. i wish someone would have told me back then that it was not that deep. after at the end of the day the only thing that matters is our relationship with god, and he loves me no matter what i do or how i do on it. he is constantly working in little ways to show me his love for me. using my life to help glorify his plan for me is all i can do to repay him.

Many people struggle with perfectionism, often feeling overwhelmed by the desire to meet impossible standards. This mindset can lead to stress, anxiety, and a constant feeling of inadequacy. However, understanding the essence of spirituality, as highlighted in Psalm 62, can provide immense relief and guidance. "My soul rests in God alone; my salvation comes from him" (Psalm 62) reminds us that true strength and peace come from trusting in God's plan rather than our own efforts. Trusting in God means recognizing that His love is unconditional and not contingent upon our achievements or perfection. The message "Jesus loves me" reassures believers that they are valued just as they are. Embracing vulnerability is an important part of this journey; it allows us to acknowledge our imperfections and rely on divine support rather than self-imposed pressure. Incorporating spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation on scripture, and gratitude can help cultivate a mindset that prioritizes faith over fear. For example, reflecting on God's promise to preserve and protect from generation to generation can give us the strength to face daily challenges without the weight of perfectionism. Moreover, the imagery of balance and trust, as found in Psalm 62's metaphor of scales, encourages believers to weigh their priorities carefully. Instead of being burdened by external expectations, we can focus on nurturing our relationship with God and others, which is ultimately more fulfilling. By accepting that God’s love "never fails," individuals can find freedom from the relentless pursuit of flawlessness. This spiritual perspective fosters resilience, allowing us to grow through our mistakes and use our lives to glorify His plan, as the original article asserts. Ultimately, the journey to overcoming perfectionism involves a heartfelt acknowledgment that God works in small, meaningful ways to show His love continually. Trusting in Him not only reduces stress but also enriches personal growth and spiritual fulfillment, helping us live authentically and courageously.

if we don’t get a handle on stress, it’s way too easy for it to spiral out of control. when we don’t actively take control, overthinking and anxiety just gets a tighter grip (and more influence) on our lives ❤️‍🩹 remember that stress/anxiety is either worry about something that ✨hasn’t happened
