I hope I’m not getting too introspective for everyone. Of course, it is my blog, so I can do whatever the hell I want, right?

I’ve been learning some new things, mostly about myself. I want to believe that this will result in me growing a little bit. I’m not expecting anything to happen overnight, which is why practice and repetition are key (just like anything else).

So I’ve been bookmarking and collecting things that seem important. I’ve found some other people (via their blogs) that are going through similar times. It’s amazing to see parallels when we are all so very different, yet they are there just the same.

One piece of advice I was given, which I’m trying hard to put into practice, is to do everything one step at a time. Make it one day at a time. Make the best choice you can, and then relax and go to bed knowing you’ve done what you can, stop worrying that it won’t end up perfect 100 years from now. Stop playing the “what if” game, or saying “the problem with that is..”

In other words, let go. Let go of a lot of things.

And sure enough, yesterday I ran across a list on another blog I read (I warned you: I read a lot of blogs) and it fits nicely with the above. They complement each other, I think.

So here is “20 Mental Barriers You Should Let Go Of”

Progress, not perfection.
