today has taught me how to let go of things, of people, of memories,of pains...........and although i may struggle to achieve this process all in a day.......i have begun. I am trying to 'let go ' of being or striving for perfectionism........it is at the root of controlling behaviour and a key to my unhappiness, weight battle, loneliness....and much more.
you see an example of this is I would love more visitors/friends.........but i don't ask them over as my house may not be perfect enough! i self-sabotage....sometimes i try too hard- not to try to out do someone else but to try to live up to my own unrealistic expectations. These traits are 'learned' from one generation to the next- i want to re write the script.........i want friends to love me as i am even if i am in a mess.

I really understand where you are coming from. I see it reflected in my children and that is HARD! Each time I take a step toward releasiing my perfectionism the closer I come to the imaginary place I want to be. Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteyes rebecca it does make lots of sense...i am still mastering the craft but have not given up the goal...but i am begining to break it down into smaller bite size pieces.
