Isn’t it amazing what one can learn from portions of their anatomy. The full title of the brand new Debbie Jordan Kravitz self help book is Everything I Know about Perfectionism I Learned from My Breasts: Secrets and Solutions for Overpowering Perfectionism.
“All my life I have been a perfectionist. I never really looked at it as a bad thing. Like most moms, I was holding myself up to a ridiculously higher standard than I expected from anyone else in my life. But I took it over-the-top, because it was a standard too high to ever actually reach. The best I could hope for was to constantly fall short of my goals. I continued on this path of expecting perfection, but always getting less, for several years. It was not until I was 35 years old that I had an epiphany about my perfectionist ways. Actually, I had breast cancer.”
