Thought Process from the Mind of a Perfectionist

I need to do this.

And I need to do this . . .

And I need to do this . . .

Oh! Almost forgot . . .

And this, too . . .

I got a 96.7% on the last test. What did I do wrong? Why did I miss 2 ½ points? I should have studied more.

I'm such a terrible student.

I feel like I never do enough.

Of course. I’m just trying to improve. I want to be better. I do. You know, to be a better person.

I would love to help out. I’ll just fit it in-between my seven classes, my papers and homework assignments, my work schedule, my Pilates class, my volunteer hours, and then maybe sleep for 4 hours tonight and eat a meal in there somewhere.

I am an awful daughter.

I’ll sleep when I’m dead.

I'll just add that to the list.

I'm the worst mom.

Can I do that? That’s not the right question. If I do it, I will give 150% until there is absolutely nothing wrong. It must look flawless. It will appear perfect.

I'm such a bad member of the Church. I wish I was as spiritual as she is.

I feel like there’s never enough time in the day.

If I wasn't so busy, I'd look prettier. I'd go out on more dates. Maybe guys would like me more.

I wish my home could be as clean as her house.

I'm not a good wife.

I feel so tired.

I feel so worn out.

I feel so alone.

I feel like no matter how busy I make myself, there is still this empty, gnawing hole inside.

I feel worthless.

I am worthless.

I feel . . . I am . . .

I am a failure. 

Thoughts: they shape who we are and how we perceive ourselves. We perfectionists need a revolution in our thought process.
