Useful stuff. I do recognize some of these traits within myself. They can also be a bit of a slippery slope. I tend to be a perfectionist, but maybe I should be letting a few things slide without worrying too much about them!

I like this very much, the idea of trying to perceive a situation from the point of view of one of my more positive friends.

Thanks for the article. Pollyanna Jacobss last blog post..Why Everyone Needs a Coach
