Well, what I decided that I need to realize is that I’m a perfectionist and so because of that, I try to push everything I do to perfection. This is a good thing for sure, but it also means that when I don’t achieve perfection, I’m a failure (in my mind) and therefore get myself into this rut that gets deeper and deeper.
The good news is that I’ve figured this out about myself over the years… It just takes a little bit of time to catch it and stop it. Of course, the biggest part of all this is putting the control in God’s hands and removing myself from the equation. Well, not exactly removing myself, but pulling the responsibility out of my hands and into God’s since that’s where it will work out best anyway.
So, I’m back. A bit of a down-hill there but in the end, nothing too major. Just needing to realize that this is the next major “speed-bump” in my life and that it will take time to get this one taken care of the right way.
