Perfectionism; A Psychological Prison

With the new year coming I wanted to share a book I read. Sometimes we can have an "All or Nothing" mentality that we actually sabotage our own efforts. So this new year - let's focus on the journey and not the destination.

Psychological prison:   

• Fear of failing
• Obsessed with the destination and outcome
• All the way or nothing at all
• Thinking that the world is not Fluid and changing all the time (50’s motherhood)
• Not enjoying nor appreciating, and missing the magic MOMENTS
• Avoiding pain by procrastinating
• Imposing perfection on myself
• Not looking at things in the light of ETERNITY
• Not accepting reality  - there are only 24 hours in a day

Below I added a video from Brian Johnson from Philosophers Notes that gives you a quick synopsis of the book.
