I've always been a perfectionist in my whole life. I've always known it, fought it and tried to overcome it, but I've never gotten the results I wanted. It has caused me to miss out on lots of relationships, lots of job opportunities, and lots of social experiences. My mom says I've inherited it from my dad and you know what? On some level, I like being a perfectionist, but the truth is I have too much of it.
So this is it. Overcoming extreme perfectionism. So I wanna make a deal with myself. From now on, whenever and for whatever I catch myself being too hard on myself, I will remember that I should choose progress over perfection. And if I don't, I'll wake up a year from now with more regrets than memories.
So here's to being a perfectionist, not an extreme one )))
