Women of Perfection: Perfectly Imperfect

Who is a perfectionist? I know I am. Are you a type A personality that wants everything done perfectly and always on point? Think back to the last time you really needed everything to be perfect? Was that yesterday? Well then you are more likely a perfectionist or Type A personality than not. From my experience being a perfectionist or Type A personality has its pros and cons. Some of the pros for me are that I have a checklist every day, week, month and year of items to be done. Sometimes my daily checklist consists of one- hundred things. Sometimes it’s five things. So, the perfectionist in me must check off each items every day to really feel accomplished. The other pros are that my house, car, kids, office and myself is typically very clean and put together which on the outside seems fabulous! The con? Sometimes, I feel very overwhelmed by the number of things to do daily and if everything is not checked I feel like I have failed. Another con is if the house, car, kids, office or myself aren’t on point I stress until that can be fixed. Are you the same way? Do you feel that you must have your house, car, office, kids, house and whatever else you do perfect?
