Set realistic expectations and let go of perfectionism from "summary" of Strong As a Mother by Kate Rope
It's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of motherhood, constantly striving to meet unattainable standards. We often put pressure on ourselves to be the perfect mother, to have everything under control at all times. But the truth is, perfection is an illusion. No one is perfect, and trying to live up to that unrealistic ideal will only lead to frustration and burnout. Setting realistic expectations is key to maintaining your sanity as a mother. Understand that you can't do it all, and that's okay. It's important to prioritize what truly matters and let go of the rest. Accept that there will be good days and bad days, and that it's okay to ask for help when you need it. Letting go of perfectionism means embracing imperfection and being kind to yourself when things don't go as planned. As mothers, we often put immense pressure on ourselves to do everything right. We compare ourselves to other mothers, to social media influencers, to our own mothers. But the reality is, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to motherhood. What works for one mother may not work for another, and that's perfectly okay. By setting realistic expectations and letting go of perfectionism, you are giving yourself the gift of grace. You are allowing yourself to be human, to make mistakes, and to learn and grow from them. Motherhood is messy and chaotic, and that's what makes it beautiful. Embrace the imperfections, and remember that you are strong and capable, just as you are.
