I'm a huge fan. I connect with all of you content... your tangents, and subtle insecurities, and all of your feelings about the church. I appreciate your channel! Thank you!

You think my insecurities are subtle?! That might be the nicest thing anyone has ever told me! I’m all seriousness, thank you.

This is a very helpful and insightful video to me. Thank you very much for making it! I also deeply struggle with what you described. Kind of a "perfection aversion" I've developed where I absolutely want everything to be perfect or the best I can possibly make it, but then get overwhelmed and don't even start things if I suspect I won't be able to make it the way I think will be "perfect". To me, this video that you described as being of lower quality is and was the perfect thing for me right now. Thank you, again!

I am constantly reminding myself to not let the “perfect” get in the way of the “good”.

@@ubermormon9611 That is a beautiful and useful sentiment. Heh, maybe it is because leaving the church is still so fresh for me and I'm over-attributing things but, I can't help wondering if the perfectionism I wrestle with is something I was culturally trained to feel as an LDS woman. What do you think about that? Is that true to your experience that the church contributes to that "all or nothing" mentality? If it's not true for you, or if you're too busy to answer that is totally fine! I'm just asking because I'm curious and interested in your experiences. Thank you for your time!

@@amyjudy33 I think that the "all or nothing" mentality is definitely a part of Mormon Culture, so i don't think it would be radical to say you picked some of that up in your time as a mormon. You probably didn't get ALL of your perfectionism from that, though. There are a lot of places to pick it up from:)

From the title, I was actually expecting Jesus (or the LDS version of spiritual leadership) to literally take the wheel test to compare and rate how healthy or well is the LDS religion according to the wellness wheel. 😅 Not at all what I was expecting, but actually what I got out of this video was a lot more helpful-to learn about and consider the wellness wheel introspectively in my current situation. I like the idea of identifying the “low hanging fruit”. I dunno, though, because change can be so hard for me sometimes-I get so stuck in a rut it can feel like maintaining even the smallest change for the better in any area of life is out of my reach. I guess part of that is because I totally can identify with the “all-in or nothing at all” kind of thinking you described in your Roth IRA example. When I get it in my head to do something in a certain way, I can get stuck when I don’t have the reserve energy or resources to do it exactly in the way that I want or I imagine getting it done. So I tend to put off doing things, rather than just working with what I do have now l-which often to outside observers, is more than good enough. Yeah, I guess I have a bit of perfectionism or persnickety, or whatever it is in me. I’ve learned that when I can actually notice myself getting too hung up over the small details of a project or a task at hand, it helps to shift perspective to the overall intent or purpose for what I’m trying to do-try to look for the bigger picture- and sometimes that helps me get past the smaller details to just get started doing something. Your audio video equipment and your editing is just fine and actually a whole lot better than the average content creator at the stage of where you are now in terms of how long and how much you’ve been doing this. But more importantly your content is thoughtful, it’s interesting and it’s helpful in ways that make a positive impact on others, like I know it has had on me!😊

Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! I am always so excited to hear from people who feel that something I said was helpful to them! Thank you!

I have been thinking about things like this lately, sort of admitting that I need help.
