The Finisher

I’ve long held that my mental health is founded on finishing things. But for me, in order to finish things, they need to be perfect. Now, as everyone knows, perfection is an elusive concept, a non-destination.

Nothing will ever be perfect.

Therefore, my things never get finished.

Therefore, my mental health remains unstable.

I write to you from this rocky foundation knowing full-well that one of three things must happen in order for me to live more fully:

1. I must learn to be okay with finished products being imperfect.

2. I must learn to be okay with leaving products unfinished.

3. I must learn to be okay.

I must also learn to set boundaries, but that is whole ‘nother discussion for a whole ‘nother day.

As one of my clients at StretchLab so astutely pointed out, I am very self-disciplined...and not at all self-managed. 😂

So join me as beat down self-imposed barriers to a fully realized, expertly managed life.

With love and blessings,

M
