Day 354 + 15 steps Perfectionsists unite!

I have changed my life this year when I stopped trying to take big huge steps.

My inner perfectionist just did not like it and she sometimes even managed to make me do nothing at all instead of getting my stuff done. She is a scary woman, very thorough and relentless.

Since I decided to take small steps - I started with my work - she seems no longer to mind and is even cheering me on. I have become quite prolific in my output, to levels I have never experienced before.

And I am loving it. There is no more internal dialogue, no wanting to dust the ornaments instead of working. I wake up and can not wait to get going, any obstacle is simply that, an obstacle. It is not longer the big scary monster that pops up and spoils the party and I get scared and give up.

Obstacles do no longer hold power over me, sometimes I know immediatly what to do to get round one, sometimes it takes a while. But round them I go!

I have started recording these little steps towards my health goal once before and it was ok, but somehow I never believed that I could go ALL the way. Now that I have learned so much about how I seem to tick, I am restarting and going for it.

At the moment I can not, or maybe dare not, speak out my short term WoWgoal . I know my long term WoW goal ist being FFF (fit, fun and flexible) at 86. And my current project is to get my thyroid under control and some weight loss. But I just can not say what my goal for the end of the year is, because I am not sure how to get there exactly. A case of premature practicalty!

Will get round it, I am sure
