stop trying to fix everything
This is one of my biggest problems. 3 years ago

I always think I am resposible for everyone and everything. I always think I could have done better, or I could have done more. I sometimes get to the point where I overdo something so horribly it would have been better if I had just left it alone. It took a tiny puppy dying in the palm of my hand for me to realize that it sometimes isn’t that you haven’t done enough, but that you have done too much.

“The Search for Significance” is a great book. It examines four areas where people often look for their self-worth and value. Sometimes in pleasing others, sometimes in being perfect. I forget the author’s name, but it also has a workbook. It was really insightful for me when it came to seeing that I was always trying to be accepted by other people to obtain a sense of having value.

Hope this helps… :)
