How I did it
How to stop being a perfectionist
It took me
3 years
It made me

How I did it: I still have perfectionist tendencies, but I consider this goal complete because it no longer is a huge issue for me.  The only way to overcome it is to stop seeing yourself as a perfectionist, otherwise you will always be one in your own eyes.  I still struggle with wanting to make things "perfect" but I no longer spend so much time berating myself over it and think of myself of more of a "recovering perfectionist" Read how I did it…

walk a labyrinth (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 11 months ago

I walked a labyrinth set up in a Methodist church, it was based on the one at Chartes Cathedral. Interesting experience, except I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to walk the labyrinth on the way out as well or just walk out of the center since I didn’t want to bump into other people.

drink tea (read all 2 entries…)
Done! 17 months ago

Mostly I wanted to acquire a taste for tea because I’d feel dorky getting a soda if someone invited me out for coffee. I tried green tea at first and didn’t really like that, then black tea which was a little better but not by much. I then realized I didn’t want to be dealing with caffeine so I tried herbal tea and that’s what I’m sticking with.
