From Flow here's a guided workbook with a welcoming come-as-you-are message: Embrace the
things that make you you flaws and all. Inspired by the popular calendar and combining the
interactive fun of a fill-in journal with a timely focus on mindfulness My Perfectly Imperfect
Life inspires readers to let go of the pressure to be perfect and to celebrate quirks and
slipups rather than judge them. There are prompts for easing up on self-criticism: What would
you say to a friend who's having a hard time? Can you extend that same empathy to yourself? For
slowing down and worrying less about accomplishments: Make a to-do list of non-urgent things
like giving your cat a cuddle. And when something goes wrong measure it on a playful scale
from The world is ending! to It could happen to anyone to There may even be a silver lining.
Throughout charming illustrations by Dutch illustrator Karen Weening capture sweet relatable
moments of imperfection--like a yogi turning right in class when everyone else is going left
or a woman taking a perfect selfie amid the messy backdrop of her room. A thoughtful gift with
a validating message it's a tool to help journaling enthusiasts friends sisters or moms
embrace self-care with joy.
