Lesson 91: Check In WEEK 13 - Being Enough

This week has been interesting in really recognising that we are enough and that we have enough. This is not a concept I had practised previously. I am grateful for the mantra “I am enough. I have enough. There is enough”. I may not have enforced it into my life before but I am now. Just being able to say that to myself in the mirror and believe it, is powerful in itself. There are many ways to be grateful in your life and recognise abundance. That mantra also makes you think about all your material possessions and what you don’t need because you will start to see that you truly have enough. This is such a major shift in thinking and we all can learn from simply repeating those words, applying it to yourself and actually believing it. When it sinks in, it feels great!

Lesson 91: There is No Sin...

We need to do away with thinking that people are perfect. There is a perfection we place on things, situations, others and ourselves that is unrealistic. We make mistakes as much as the next person – we just all operate on different levels and perceive mistakes to be one above the rest or not so bad based on our own opinions and morals. The idea behind the title of this lesson is that there isn’t sin but there is definitely mistakes we make and how they impact our consciousness. Today’s lesson is about writing about how you’re not perfect and to celebrate it.

I never claim to be perfect in anyway. Whenever someone describes me as perfect I actually squirm because I believe no one is perfect. I believe we’re all perfect in our flaws and even have Machine Gun Kelly lyrics tattooed on my arm saying just that “Our flaws are what make us perfect”. I think there is a beauty and uniqueness in that lyric. It’s imperfection that makes us beautiful. We tend to have way too much idealism against things such as material items, beauty standards, body shapes and sizes… the list really goes on and we’re forced into standards that are unrealistic and warps our brains into some idea about perfectionism.

I personally believe we are all great in our own way. The ways in which I state I am not perfect include:- I do not claim to have a great body and don’t strive for some slim, model body. I sometimes am lazy but I recognise that I am. I like to eat crap when I’m watching a movie and don’t feel bad for it. I don’t like everyone in this world nor should I. I can be passionate when I want to be but can also be just as demotivated. I can be annoying and do annoying things because I think it’s funny. I binge watch TV shows and take time off work just to binge watch shows sometimes. If I’m staying home all weekend, sometimes I don’t even shower. I don’t do things because you want me to. I don’t always listen to my mother. I sometimes go against my own advice. I don’t always admit I need help.

These are just a few of my imperfections. Can you admit to yours?
