I often find myself creating battles for myself. Ironically, they are also with myself. I expect so much from myself that I tend to think I need to go way past what is really needed, and then I end up concerned with whether I did enough or not. Sometimes, I even have trouble starting the tasks because I have such high expectations that I feel the task at hand is fairly overwhelming when, upon second thought, it is minimally demanding.
Some of these battles are pointless, and I look forward to the day when my brain stops trying to make me do so much for no good reason. That is not to be confused with doing more than needed because I want to or because it will simply be better. More isn’t always better, but less isn’t always more.
