Thanks to my friend Michael, I’ve learned that I’m putting the stress on myself to be “perfect.” Perfect seems so good, but the reality is that it causes so much mental harm. You feel inadequate, anxious about everything you do, and tense about the world around you not “doing their part.”
I’m letting go…
I’m no better than anyone else. I’m changing my inner-thoughts from criticizing people I see for their dress, looks, or behavior and turning them in to complements. For example, at the beach I would be horrified at some of the things people wear and make an obnoxious comment like “that suit must have shrank after you bought it.” Now I change my inner speak to say something like “It takes confidence to wear something like that.” Not huge, but it’s getting hte negative out. I know some of my clothes have “shrank” before I’ve worn them :0
Thanks Michael…
