I always want to do everything perfectly, especially at work. Obviously the leadership has nodded approval, but I always feel not good enough, have to spend a lot of time to key the details, for fear that because of a little negligence lead to problems, and finally have to take the blame.
Now my job and family are quite stable, but I'm always worried that I won't be able to cope if something goes wrong.
What can I do to cheer myself up, please?
Hello, friend!
I can sense from what you've shared that you're a particularly self-aware and conscientious person!
Anxiety is actually a feeling of fear of the unknown spiraling out of control. When uncertainty increases in our lives, our anxiety levels naturally rise, which is the brain's way of reminding us of the risks.
①Movement
Try moderate exercise such as running or taking a walk. Exercise not only relaxes the mind and body, but also strengthens the body. When you feel anxious, moving can quickly relieve tension and give you more confidence to face subsequent challenges.
2. Diversion
If anxiety comes up, turn your attention to something you enjoy, such as watching a funny video, listening to a comedy, or doing something crafty, so you don't get stuck spinning in anxiety.
3、Muscle relaxation method
The specific method is: first sit straight and relax, imagine calf muscles become heavy, and then gradually imagine thighs, buttocks, back to the shoulders are heavy, and finally open your eyes and feel that sense of relief.
4. Learn to accept imperfection
Life is inevitably flawed, but striving for absolute perfection is like spinning your wheels in an illusion. Try to accept those small defects, you will find that let go of the obsession instead of more relaxed.
In fact, many people have a tendency to strive for perfection, but overdoing it can tie your hands. The key is to find the balance that allows life to be both organized and flexible.
