thoughts running through my head this morning

*Perfectionism mindset is not wanting to finish something because you haven't done it perfect ie leaving ten pages blank of a to-do notebook because you didn't complete every. single. line ahead of time. today i finish using the notebook.

*Perfectionism mindset is giving up when the going gets tough, as it always does, because tough isn't perfect. today i ride through the tough of finding t-shirts for the robotics club by doing what i should've done in the first place and relying on the word of a friend who has t-shirts designed for a living.

*Perfectionism mindset is not letting your son choose his own haircut because you want to have the value of a haircut, not the value of a long term relationship minus battles over something as a simple haircut. Fail, R*se. today i apologize for my short-sightedness, brush his hair out, and convince him it looks exactly the same, his ears are covered, and only the curls are gone, then pray that no one notices his hair cut and his spirits are lifted.

*Perfectionism mindset is giving up when the final product isn't perfect, rather than going forward with what you have ie not scheduling massages because they don't happen on the weekend with Brando taking care of the boys like I want them to. today i schedule a two hour massage to use it up in time.

*Perfectionism mindset is not wanting to make calls for my dad because i'm thrown off by him having another employee calling over the last few months to make annual appointments and she tells me i may be calling the same person the next day. today i use the motivation of my first paycheck and charge through the phone calls merely using the opportunity to apologize and strengthen the relationship by double calling if need be.
