Can have it all, but not al the time

I know we can't have it all, all the time.

Kids, work, beautiful house, health etc etc etc BUT wondering how you came to this realisation and how you decided your priorities when you realised?

I feel like I try to do everything, to the nth degree and there is no way I can do everything perfectly.

But how do I prioritise and how do I deal with the ridiculous worry of people thinking our garden is a tip, I don't cook enough, I am a fatty therefore I have no self discipline etc.

Am I just overthinking and no-one has any priorities? We're all just muddling by hahahaha

Sorry for rambling, guess I'm just looking for some guidance

TIA x

It's easier to find a candy striped unicorn that it is to find a happy perfectionist 😉

What people think (or, more likely, don't think) is none of your concern. As long as you are happy with your life then it's got SFA to do with anyone else. And don't forget that everyone else has stuff they fret about - might not be the same stuff as yours but it's there just the same...

You are so right about finding a candy striped unicorn than it is to find a happy perfectionist 😊
