This is a sneaky one for me. I have to admit that I used to fall into the category Mother speaks of in this video of people who think perfectionism only plagues those who are high achievers-type A personalities. It took me many years to accept that perfectionism was one of my behaviors that stemmed from old beliefs from childhood. As always I adore the compassionate way Mother explains how we end up with perfectionism and why it’s perfectly normal. But it wasn’t until I listened to Her teaching, as I was channeling it, that I realized I struggle with that underlying feeling of disappointment.Â
It’s about a million times better but it’s still there; much more often than I would like. I haven’t been paying much attention to my expectations lately. And I don’t mean the kind I think about in my head, but the old ones rattling around in my hidden self. You know, that part of self we have to actually get still and concentrate on connecting to. Today’s video is a good reminder that I need to spend time with those parts of myself before the outcome of a big event to make sure I’ve let go of expectations and given myself the reassurance I need to accept whatever outcome Mother has in store for me.
I hope you enjoy Mother’s offering. Let me know what you think in the comment section below. Are you a closet perfectionist? Or have you always known you are? Thank you so much for watching. Share this with a friend who might need a little of Mother’s love today.
Love,
DanielleÂ
What a wonderful teaching. I have been burdened by perfectionism for my entire life, and now I have hope that I can change my self, coming from love to let that go. Thank you.
You’re so welcome Linda. Thank you for watching and sharing your heart with us. Beautiful to believe that we can all set our burdens down with Mother’s love and guidance. Hugs to you.
Its has been 48 hours since I viewed this video I think my sister just threw me out of the house. She’s the only perfectionistic person I know! I know I got my perfectionistic tendencies from her. I’m writing this at a park. Not sure what I’m gonna do, or what even happening, but I’m trusting mother to get me through this too! Unreal!
Dear Johanna, I’m sorry for the difficulties with your sister. I hope the 2 of you can come to peace soon. Holding space for love for you both.
I love this one Danielle! It hit me at just the right time. Thanks for keeping me inspired!
You’re so welcome Julee! Big hugs to you love.
So helpful, this. I love the insight that perfectionism is a childish form of seeking safety & security, that perfectionism has deep ties with control & of the disappointment
related to perfectionism. SO helpful to find adult ways of safety
and there is still a way to fulfill heart’s desires without it!
Thanks to Mother, you Danielle & the community.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your insight, Ursula. I’m glad Mother’s video helped open your mind a little more than it was before. 🙂
Re your Q. about being a perfectionist: mmm… maybe have
known I was a perfectionist most of my life, but may have thought it was just part of being passionate…which is largely how I identified myself. I guess it also takes a reassessement
of what passion is. Also how to manifest from a different standpoint without being sloppy…
Thanks for answering my question Ursula. It is amazing how perfectionism weaves itself into other aspects of behavior and becomes normal. Hugs to you!
