OCD Disrupting Values

[@magueysunset]

I liked this explanation. I dealt with the perfectionism symptom for decades. Now I'm a lot better, I don't even care as much, it took mindfulness and some therapy. I like that mindfulness book called 30 Day to Stop Obsessing by Harper Daniels, and the Tao Te Ching for reminding myself that the present moment does not require perfection. Perfectionism is a hard thing to live with.

So true. I think that workability is helpful (I can't hold perfectionism standards on everything without major costs, many times perfectionism is reducing overall performance and happiness etc) and then urge surfing the perfectionist urge. Also compassion to the origins of the perfectionist message, where in our history did it come from and can we learn we are good enough and worthy not matter what we achieve.
