I have struggled with the crippling effects of trying to be a perfectionist all my life - it is a part of the over-achiever programming that I was given as a child. My current attitude is one of acknowledging this is a big part of how I view myself and also how I view others, while at the same time I am trying to allow myself to let it go. I am trying to celebrate the world's imperfections and allow myself to also be imperfect. It is a huge learning curve for me and it is causing me a lot of stress but this is an essential pathway if I am not going to plunge back into an abyss of paralysing self doubt.
