Being a perfectionist is who i am. My standards that i have for myself are high and this means that  i tend to place a lot of pressure on my own shoulders.   I'm not sure if i have always been like that or if it is something that i have picked up along the way.

What i do know is that having to be perfect all the time, in all things and for all people is exhausting!  Studying, working, family, friends, life, food, chores - it all adds up and it can quickly become overwhelming. 

The thing that i am trying to take on board at the moment is that good is good enough.  I dont have to be perfect at everything, all the time. It is alright to have things in my life that i only do to a good level. It may be helpful to make a list of things that don't need to be done perfectly, for example cleaning. Your house doesnt always need to be spotless. If you are short on time then a vacume may be good enough for now. You can always polish and wash windows and all those other things that you would normally do to perfectly complete the task can be done another time. 

Today i am trying to choose those activities that can be done good enough. Do you have any that you can make that conscious decision to complete good enough instead of perfectly?
