SO MANY PEOPLE WITH PROCRASTINATION HAVE A SIGNIFICANT STREAK OF PERFECTIONISM (not for most of the actions in their lives, but just for a few of them). THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE THIS AND TO ASK FOR, AND TO ACCEPT HELP ARE THE FIRST STEPS TO IMPROVING THEIR SITUATIONS. NEXT IS TO FORGIVE THEMSELVES FOR THEIR IMPERFECTIONS, WHILE STILL BEING ABLE TO START AND WORK ON A PROJECTS WITHOUT ALL THE TOOLS, KNOWLEDGE, GAME PLANS, OR HELP BEING IN PLACE FROM THE START. Date June 14, 2022 In relation to perfection A BETTER DEFINITION OF PERFECTIONISM Date April 18, 2021 In relation to incomplete TOO MANY OF US WALK THROUGH OUR LIVES SO DISTRACTED AND EXHAUSTED THAT WE THINK THAT WE ARE TOO BUSY, WE SAY THAT WE ARE TOO BUSY, AND WE APPEAR TOO BUSY. WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING IS THAT OUR BRAINS ARE PEDDLING FAST (procrastination, regrets, worries, anxieties, shame, fear, anger, grudges) BUT WE/OUR LIVES ARE NOT MOVING. WE ARE PERPETUALLY EXHAUSTED, AND STUCK…NOT NOTICING THE PATTERNS OF OUR LIVES, THE OPPORTUNITIES IN OUR LIVES, AND THE LOVED ONES WITHIN OUR IN LIVES.
