I have found that the more I am content with, and confident in, myself, the more I am okay with letting things go. I am less concerned with what others think about my cleanliness (or lack thereof) or my parenting style, because I am comfortable with the choices I have made and the approaches (and mistakes) I make. I know what my limits are and listen to my inner voice even if it means I may upset others: for example, I have cancelled an engagement with a friend at the last minute because I just needed a night at home to recoop -- and not surprisingly, they understand. Be happy with who you are. Be authentic.
