I recently gained a new perspective on worry. I lived my childhood with worry being a constant. It simply vibrated from the walls of our house. If I couldn't think of something to worry about a whole list would be given to me. Perfectionism and worry and efficiency all were dosed to us daily. Flylady helped me to see that perfectionism was a distortion of self improvement. http://www.flylady.net/d/br/2018/05/07/ever-changing-goals-of-perfectionism/
Efficiency long ago bit the dust when I realized it was NOT my goal in life to be the most efficient person in the World. Just because my mother obsessed about it, did not mean I needed to buy into the manic pursuit of efficiency.
Worry is hard to shake. Main reason is when I worried about something I would prepare myself for the possibility. I learned along the way that people that didn't worry quite often don't plan...Of course I was raised on "If you fail to plan you plan to fail." Any who.....I gained some new perspective and shared it on my other blog.
