Good enough

These are really extraordinary times and so part of self-care is simply giving ourselves some grace. Aiming for perfection in all things is a recipe for exhaustion and burnout. That is not to say that we shouldn’t care about our responsibilities. However, we need to recognize when we are placing unrealistic demands on ourselves. If our to-do list is only growing by the hour but we have no more to give to it, we need to be okay with asking for help or simply letting go. We can be a superhero another time. Especially in a crisis, good enough has to be good enough. Decide what is essential and let the rest go.
