Recovering from perfectionism – is it possible?
Something strange is happening to me. It first started when I heard someone refer to themselves as a “recovering perfectionist”. Wow, I thought. I’d love to be able to say that about myself one day. Then the other week, when someone was going to stay at my house for a weekend getaway while I was taking off, I didn’t vacuum before their arrival. Then last Friday, I didn’t clean the kitchen before a new friend arrived to my house. Now I find myself going to bed without having done the dishes, with crumbs left on the bench. It will stay like this until I wake up in the morning. Seriously, it’s all getting a little crazy if you ask me. But it’s making me wonder…perhaps I am recovering!?!
