Self compassion
For some reason my impulse is to go for perfection tbut I need to remember to have self compassion and compassion for others. I don't want to hurt myself or others. I'm really revved up this morning and about to start work. I need to remember to stay in the moment and be kind to myself and others. I'm trying. Onward towards getting the job done!
I think the notion of holding two thoughts of contradiction in my head help me with reasonability.

My therapist introduced that contradiction reality to me. It really helps!!
Have a great day, Mark!
Something that I say to myself when perfectionism causes me anxiety is "I am not less for making mistakes; I am more because I learn from them." Sending self-acceptance and peace for an awesome day!
Thanks Judy and Susan!
I like that gr8!
Perfectionism sucks. Says the hobo lady who is also dealing with it in her writing projects - so badly she can never finish anything.
