Hi Rebecca. I don’t know how much to ask as I don’t want you to give away all your secrets for free when you usually charge for your services, but how do people who struggle with this learn to say to themselves “Okay, that’ll do” and be happy with where they’ve left a task even when it’s not finished as well as it has the potential to be?

EDIT: In the same vein, how do they learn to start tasks knowing they won’t be able to complete it perfectly?

Thank you! You’ve provided more than clarity. That’s something that I think I really needed to read. And it calls for lots of personal reflection.

Thank you again and I hope you get as much goodness out of today as you’ve given :)

Wow. Thank you so much for your detailed response!

I think I’m having some trouble applying that to perfectionism. Does a task that needs completion not take precedent over a mild tiredness response from the body? I wouldn’t know when to listen to my mind and when to listen to my body. I guess I struggle with not knowing how to recognise that “Although this isn’t perfect, it’s satisfactory enough to be considered ‘finished’.“

As I’m typing this I realise that’s a hard question to answer without any specific information about my experiences. Perhaps there’s some other things to be worked on before the perfectionism gets tackled.
