As a perfectionist, a Virgo, and being the person I am, I don't really know how to let go or leave a task unfinished
I always need to be on top of my things. Finishing my work 200% properly, otherwise I feel like something is wrong
But let me tell you one thing... Nope, this is affecting me
I can't handle one million tasks at the same time AND be that picky about every single one of them. Because eventually, this means delays, procrastination, and more anxiety
Less tasks, less being picky, less anxiety - I guess !
I remember once my mentor told me:
"Do the job anyway. The good in your eyes is perfect for others, and the perfect in your eyes will bring you only anxiety and procrastination. Doing it is much better than eventually not doing it"
Somehow, it makes sense.
So now, I sleep when I have to instead of staying up late working on the "perfect" presentation, just to adjust it even further
I take weekends as days off instead of using them to finish all the tasks that are still pending
Do I feel guilty? Yes, sometimes
Am I wrong? No
Because my mind and body both need rest.
And resting makes me go back to who I am. It gives me time to think, to slow down, and to enjoy life's simple moments... like watering my plants and taking care of them 🌱
Maybe not everything needs to be done today.
And maybe not everything needs to be perfect.
What about you? ♥️
