healing gracie

So sorry about the breakdown about failing (which was in my last post). Yeah...those aren't fun.

Anyhoo, I learned something pretty neat in church today. Actually, it was more of a reminder. At that was to be more patient with myself. To not be so hard on myself. To accept myself where I am and the things that I need to change. And to do this one day at a time.

Now, I tend to be very hard on myself (as some of you know very well...you know who you are...you are probably nodding in agreement in fact). I mess up on one little thing and it's the end of the world. I tend to be a perfectionist. Everything has to be perfect, it has to be just right. And if it isn't right, then it is wrong. And if what I did was wrong, then I must be wrong, too. See the reasoning there. That's a lot of pressure I put on myself. A lot...and it's not good pressure either.

So, I'm going to hopefully use this reminder and look at where I am at now and accept it. I am not a failure, and I don't have to be perfect. I am learning. This life is a learning experience...and though I tend to learn lessons the hard way I will keep on learning. I'm going to work on what I can today, and worry about tomorrow when tomorrow comes.
