It’s okay to accept “good enough”. Perfectionism is a double-edged sword. On one end, it can push us to set high standards for ourselves and strive for success. On the other end, it can make us set unrealistic expectations causing us to be overwhelmed, self-doubting, and anxious. We have to be mindful of the unrealistic expectations we have of others and ourselves, as they will impact our relationships and our overall mental health. This doesn’t mean lower your standards, just try to be more flexible. Sometimes things work out to our standards and sometimes they won’t. “Good enough” is sometimes the results of our best efforts, and that’s okay.

It takes courage to seek mental health treatment on your own, especially when you’re truly struggling. Internal conflict prior to making this decision is common, due to the stigma associated with seeking help. If you find yourself struggling with doing so, ask yourself the reasons for not wanting to try it. Is it because of lack of information? Will someone think you’re “crazy”? Is it due to financial concerns? There may be a ton of questions that you have about this decision. The brain is complex and will protect itself at all costs, so the uncomfortable questions are common. It’s absolutely okay to ask questions. Try writing them down and asking a qualified mental health professional, or even a trusted person in your life who has also sought help. It’s okay to seek help. It’s also okay to be unsure about it at first. Try to give yourself some grace.

Time is very precious and the one thing we can’t get back. It’s beneficial for us to review where we spend most of our time, what we spend most of our time doing and/or thinking about, and who we spend our time with. If there’s some unsatisfactory answers to those questions, it’s important that we understand that we have the power to change those things. Even if there’s certain things we can’t change, maybe we can change how we respond or react to things that take up a lot of our time. We must recognize our own autonomy within our lives, and find better use of our time, especially in today’s climate.

It’s okay to change your mind. We make decisions multiple times everyday and we’re constantly evolving. Some decisions that we made previously, may not align with who we are today, and that’s okay. Maybe you’ve made a decision that you thought was right for you at that time, and now that you have more information, you want to do something different. That’s okay. Try to take it as a lesson to think about the consequences of choices and not being impulsive. Sometimes we get it wrong, and sometimes we get it right. The lessons we learn help us grow. It’s all part of the journey.
