I’m a recovering perfectionist. I place very high (and usually unattainable) demands on myself. I hate screwing up and making mistakes. When I heap these expectations of perfection on myself, I end up stressed and overwhelmed. Here’s the thing. I want to be gracious. I want to be patient. I want to model to my children that they are loved, no matter what. And so I’m in recovery from my perfectionism. This week I have been solo-parenting while my husband is traveling. Parenting, by far, is the primary place where my inner critic and perfectionist rear their ugly heads. So I need a bit of brain and heart rewiring. Maybe you do too. High-fives for recovering and healing. If you're a recovering perfectionist, I put together a list of 25 tips for you! Here is some advice for how to recover from perfectionism. 25 TIPS FOR THE RECOVERING PERFECTIONIST
