It makes absolutely no sense! haha<br /><br />Thank you for your words here!Katie (@agracefulgirl)http://agracefulgirl.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932167218093238141.post-80989412821452681862013-04-22T06:02:44.378-04:002013-04-22T06:02:44.378-04:00Christy - Just want you to know I've been pray...Christy - Just want you to know I've been praying for you. I have perfectionist tendencies, for sure. It is something I work on - which is sort of a perfectionist thing to do! This constant self evaluation; sometimes I also struggle to just let myself be human. My dad gave me some good advice recently, with regard to some stress and anxiety I've been having about another family member: Just be yourself, and try to be cheerful. Meaning, if I start off trying to be cheerful then being myself becomes more acceptable. Somehow, that has released me. Hope it helps you in some small way too.

I can be a bit fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants, free-spirited-hippy, but I have found myself feeling so crushed by the weight of my own expectations. I think I set the bar way too high for my life. I'm not okay being mediocre... I want to be the best. Eeek! So yeah... I think I'm struggling with perfectionism. I'm not really sure how to move forward from this realization. Guess I will come back for the next part of this ;) Thank you for your words!! xoAmanda Conquershttp://www.the-cadence.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932167218093238141.post-9688191206728557792013-04-17T12:31:42.079-04:002013-04-17T12:31:42.079-04:00Permission to be human. . .

Although I have never considered myself to be a perfectionist, there are too many times when I've pulled back from something out of fear of not doing a good enough job. <br />Thanks for that fresh perspective!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822138761506862243noreply@blogger.com
