Thanks! No, I am not a perfectionist. When I chose my values in my teen-age years, perfectionism was not on my value list.
I have a Christian holistic approach (whole person approach physical and spiritual) to what it is to be human... I think that I, as a Christian, am to take care of my body (nutrition, physical activities and relaxation exercises). That is a way to honor God because of the body he gave me, to take care of the gift so to speak.
I have to live with the Psychological / Emotional wounds and scars life has given me. To me
the structure of the day is a way to keep focus on other things than my problems as it, at the same time, is a way to honor God. Show him that I will use all available tools to stay as psychological healthy as possible to thank him for the life he has given me.
When I plan for the days, I look to my symptoms first and foremost. How much energy do I have to my disposition - will it be OK to do two tasks in a row or will that be too much for me? Have I set apart enough time to rest or to amuse myself? Sometimes I plan too strict and fail; if so I have to learn from that and try to make a more realistic plan next time.
I think that God is Love and that he is satisfied by my trying. He doesn't expect successes every day, only my trying. Only God is perfect (the way I see it). Even on the days when I am not able to do anything I am loved. We all are (the way I see it)!
My Christian holistic view includes, worship and prayers , of course, - try to keep the contact upwards ...
I am only trying ...
