Painful Perfection

From my garden

How do I get free?

To escape being a slave to perfectionism

 you need to understand and challenge 

the underlying beliefs  that drive us 

to get "things right".

Perfectionists think that their beliefs

are indeed,FACTS

For an example:

"If I make a mistake

it will be catastrophic."

Get into the habit of challenging 

these thoughts with a reality check.

Take note of when you make a mistake-

or something was not quite right.......

Did your feared outcome come to fruition? 

Replace this kind of thinking of being "perfect"

with the realistic thought "I will do my best".

This can be frightening at first.

But make a start on setting realistic standards.

Remember: they are there to help you to do your best.

This way you won't lose the things that mean the most to you-

relationships, leisure time, good health.

Good luck! It will take practice. Eventually things will improve.

Making connections

 

Treasures In The Garden

 

When difficulties arise in my life.......

An approach to keeping relationships on an even keel:

Listen,

Talk things through,

try gentle persuasion,

Aim for reconciliation,

Try not to use accusation. 

....... I try hard to foster unity, acceptance, harmony and love.

 And if all else fails I pray.

My word for today is "HARMONY!"
