Progress, Not Perfection

 

Being a perfectionist, I have a hard time focusing on the progress and not perfection, with all things in my life. When I feel like I'm not doing something perfectly, I tend to either throw in the towel or self-destruct. The older I get, the harder that cycle is on my mind, my emotions, my body. I've learned that I have limitations now with what I can eat, how fast I can eat, and how my body processes certain foods post surgery. I'm trying to apply that same understanding to the way that I do life in general. Focusing on the progress I make, the little steps in the right direction, rather than trying to be perfect and then naturally imploding when I don't reach that level of perfection.
