This is the serentiy prayer.
" God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"
We examining our behaviors it important to get to the exact nature " our truth". Why do things need to be perfect. Does it give the illusion of control in a world where we control little? Do we get praise and validation for a job done well and we crave validation? Are we so critical of ourselves that things are never good enough, hence we are not good enough? Are we critical or non tolerent of imperfection? ( these were all my stories my subconcious wispered in my ear)
No I dont think Perfectionism is healthy. I think Doing our best is healthy even if what we are doing results in imperfection. Acceptance is key...In nature some of the most wonderous and beautiful things to behold are imperfections. We can always strive to do better and accept that what we have done up to this point is perfect just the way it is.
