So don't ever have an ounce of doubt about THAT part. <br />I've been in your shoes so often that I've now found a pattern in the neuroses: I say yes-yes-yes to every task; I freak out; I whip self to crisis-point; I do things in my SHIT style as hubby calls it (SomeHow In Time); I feel pretty damn good about myself at the end of it all. Repeat ad nauseum. <br />I stopped thinking of this as a dysfuntional thing when I realised that this is how I am. Hunger for the world and perpetual rebellion against time --- makes life so much more exciting :)Swaatinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505491224485629524.post-88976012571969365342012-05-04T15:35:09.821-04:002012-05-04T15:35:09.821-04:00LOL!

My deepest fears have deprived me from learning to ride a bike and learning to swim. I've tried even when I got older and I gave up. Not a great feeling. I am afraid of trying new things and going to new places because of those fears but I am glad that you actually tried. I myself have gone through those thoughts of not being worthy until eventually I snap out of it but not for long. I love to paint and other stuff but these feelings bring me down. You can do it and your husband and kids are a great support, especially your Creator. Keep your chin up mama. I pray that you'll feel better and that you get through this.Cynthia Bosquehttps://www.facebook.com/cyndi.bosquenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505491224485629524.post-18662057318227107302012-05-04T14:23:29.890-04:002012-05-04T14:23:29.890-04:00Oh my word - it's not just me who gets like th...Oh my word - it's not just me who gets like this then :o) I am not very creative (although I do try... but most things I attempt end up screwed up on the floor before I strop off like a small child to my bed), and some days things just seems overwhelming, but it seems that is the way of people who want to do things perfectly. I am not a perfectionist in all areas of my life (if I tried that malarky I would be royally screwed), but when it comes to my work I hate it when things don't go right and get so frustrated with myself.<br /><br />My advice.<br /><br />Go to the island... the journey may be tough, but there will be highlights along the way, like beautiful fish, and the destination will be fabulous :o)LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778171833372717942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505491224485629524.post-44149617129146784382012-05-04T13:35:48.986-04:002012-05-04T13:35:48.986-04:00Wow, Sandy, I felt like you were writing about me!...Wow, Sandy, I felt like you were writing about me! I am very much like you when it comes to success and failure. I very rarely try something unless I know I'll do it right on the first go. I think that's why each of my cards takes soooo long to make. I have the ideas but am afraid to try and get them on paper in case I screw it up. Not like I couldn't just start again and redo it but it always takes me ages to convince myself that that is the case. I fight this part of my personality all the time and I know I've missed out on a lot of experiences because of it. I try to remember that feeling of missing out when I hesitate about something in hopes that it will push me forward.<br /><br />Big congrats on getting your fabulous camera cards completed and best wishes with completing your upcoming tasks. You can do it.Jen W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11427755487464927638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505491224485629524.post-27463147657282688032012-05-04T12:34:31.689-04:002012-05-04T12:34:31.689-04:00You're not alone, Sandy - we ALL feel that way...You're not alone, Sandy - we ALL feel that way some time or another. I find it helps if you just allow yourself to experience the feelings but not to own them. Just observe them passively, knowing they will pass. Then you can get back to what you need to do and prepare to be amazed by what you can achieve. It works for me!<br />Hugs<br />PhilippaPhilippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552262780881823997noreply@blogger.com
