The pressure I put on myself to perform perfectly is an unrealistic pressure that can actually cause me to perform worse.
This obsession with perfection permeates everything I do – including my own recovery.
Perfectionism, for me, arises from expectation, other people’s expectations of myself which can be a reflection of their own short comings.
Striving for excellence means doing my best, whereas perfectionism is an opportunity for self-criticism, that I am never good enough.
Today I will honestly do my very best and be compassionate with myself when mistakes arise.
