Вижте тази публикация в Instagram. I love Halloween. ???? It's the one time you can dress up and be what you want to be. It's probably one of the few times I force myself to do a creative project although now more and more I am trying to let that part of me out more than once a year. ???? So my hubby sent me a picture of a bacon costume. And I thought YES and I can be an egg. And from then on that was all I wanted to be. He went on to other ideas and I just couldn't shake the egg. So here I am. I procrastinated till the last possible minute as I traditionally do but am glad I did it. Procrastination is my life. And when you are procrastinating you think about a lot of ideas/ ways to get a project done before even beginning, you get stressed as you get closer to the event and you still haven't started, then you think am I really going to do this? Should I even bother? And your mind just keeps going till you begin the task at hand. One way I have learned to handle procrastination is to just start doing something. But still I think it's the perfectionist in me that wants to research and think and make sure I'm doing everything just right. Well this costume I just did what I wanted and let go of perfection. I don't have a lot of experience with fabric or sewing but can thread a machine. I cut up a remnant piece of felt, cut a hole in the middle and yesssss I'm an egg!!!! Recognizing the truth in your heart that you are enough AND acknowledging the lies we tell ourselves is important. I could have sat all day and put myself down and compared myself to everyone else but it takes you to a dark place you don't want to be where you feel like your suffocating and can't get out. I am often in that place, but I have to constantly be mindful of my thoughts and actions so I can stay afloat. It's not easy. But I am learning and getting better everyday. I am loving all the Halloween posts and I wish you all a happy Halloween! From one daring mama to all of you. Keep fighting! ????????
