Part Time Rockstar
The other day my husband was looking for his running shorts because he thought he left his car key fob in the pocket.
My heart sank as I realized those shorts were in the middle of the rinse cycle in my washing machine.
My "Brain Bully" (what I call my inner dialogue when it is not being very kind) wanted to convince me that I really blew it this time.
She started to go off about how stupid I was for not checking that one tiny pocket.
It wanted to jump to the worse case scenario that we would have to buy a new $350 fob and it was all my fault.
Another option was to blame my husband for leaving it there in the first place.
None of those options felt good.
Instead I intentionally chose a diffrent path.
I paused and reminded myself I am a human wife, not a robot wife.
Part of the time I am a rockstar and part of the time I don't check hidden pockets in sweaty running shorts.
And I love me anyway.
If you look at the big picture 50% of the time we nail it, and the other 50% of the time we could do a heck of a lot better.
Humans are 50/50...all of us.
If we get rid of the idea we need to have it together all the time, we actually end up showing up as the person we want to be more of the time.
The beautiful thing about this is; even with the 50/50 equation we are all still 100% loveable and valuable.
Even when we wash key fobs.
That my friends is what being a human is all about.
Here's the great news...the key fob and the shorts are very clean AND the fob still works!
