You Are Perfect[ly Imperfect]

This is a quick read, but a little nugget of gold:

It is like when you really want a bag of chips. You say to yourself, "You can't have chips. They are bad for you. They have too many calories. They will make you fat"  You listen, then you go to the refrigerator and eat some carrot sticks, then some yogurt, then a piece of cheese, then an apple. None of these things satisfy the initial craving. SO..you end up with the chips anyway. Why not listen to your need in the first place?

Find your things. You will need certain things in your everyday life (my things include coffee, reading, lifting, running, time with friends, writing, daily salads), and you will need certain things in your max-stress life (my things include less running, less time with friends, more reading, potato chips).

And most of all, you need to forgive yourself for needing those things. They are simply what you need. There is no judgment.
