Procrastinating Perfectionist

Listen to "Procrastinating Perfectionist" on Spreaker. I must admit I do find joy in watching how people treat others. Not joy as in celebration but rather awareness of how they treat themselves when not surrounded by others. Rarely aren't we invited to the bathroom or rear view mirror conversations. Those sharp jabs of get your act together talk or simply asking, "Why aren't I getting my way?" How you act and react on the outside is completely how you treat your inner being. I could write all day about that but won't. It will hit you one day and everything on the map will start wearing a different face. One of the reasons why we have so many trips and stumbles on this everyday path is due to procrastination. We all suffer from it. But while talking to Andrew Santella the author of Soon. He said something that opened a new door of exploration. Procrastination isn't as bad as you think. Andrews book clearly defines that. Where I began to walk toward was the area of the procrastinating perfectionist. The one that won't start or finish a project because inside their mind body and soul they're convinced they can't live up to their personal expectations. Learning how to free yourself of perfectionism isn't a simple journey. But healing from it starts with awareness. Sure we all want to be legendary with what it is we were called to do. Shrug your shoulders and start respecting the foul balls you put down the first base line. You got a piece of the ball. Be happy. The demands on each and everyone of us are huge. Keeping yourself from doing what's expected only puts more pressure on making it to first base. A procrastinating perfectionist stands in your way of noticing there's a pitcher on the mound.
