“Healthy striving is self-focused: ‘How can I improve?’ Perfectionism is other-focused: ‘What will they think?” -Brené Brown
Healthy striving! I absolutely love that! I’m juggling a lot but even with a full plate, I still want to do well and show effort. I do want to improve at the same time, when I worry about what people think it tends to trump all else. It probably hinders me more than I realize. The work gets done, yes, but it should be getting done in a healthy way with the proper intention.
I’ll have to keep the quote around to help me stay mindful about the vibes that are motivating my efforts.
