Ever find when you try to do something you HAVE to have it just right? Ever wonder how much time is wasted from trying to make something into the perfect version? It causes anxiety in so many people when they strive for that level of perfection. "I want it to look nice" is what I often hear from someone who is creating their own stress. There are no words which can help at that point give any reassurance to letting them know it looks great, now step back and enjoy it.
As we create, especially those creative types, perfection is something we strive for and when it is not obtained we identify that flaw immediately. You could be in a room with 500 people and not one of them will notice that tiny little thing, it is the only thing you see.
Why can't we let it go and just enjoy it? I am just as guilty of it I am sure. However, I am glad that when I can see it, I have trained my eye to look away from it. Maybe step back and take a look at it from another angle.
What is your thing that gets you hung up? At the end of the day, is it really that big of a deal? I can almost guarantee it is not. It is only as big of a monster that we make of it. The reality of that monster, it lives in our head, not under our bed. So, sit down with it, and tell it to shut up. Then go on and enjoy the rest of your life.
Free yourself of that negative talk. Find a reward in the things you do and create. After all, it IS meant to be enjoyed, not picked to death.
