All the time. Have to realize that you are only human, which means you are naturally built with flaws and constraints. Do the best you can and try to stay consistent. Be grateful and enjoy current state. You are exactly where you need to be.

I have used Belleruth Naperstak's guided imagery for "peak performance." No kidding, it has majorly changed my life. You can download it on itunes. I highly recommend it. Another excellent test is to ask yourself: Would I ask of someone else what I am asking of myself? Good luck- it is a lifelong thing. Also read about perfectionism. Perfectionism will make you miserable and is more bad than good

D2 my wife uses Bellaruth tapes for meditation. Good stuff. Whenever I feel "too much pressure " I remind myself that "pressure" is just a story I made up. And that I have some choice in the matter.

Let me know when you figure it out. I mostly just drink a lot and workout.

Great one, D3. Wow, I have never encountered another Belleruth listener! She's very effective. Not going to lie, when I put it in before bed, it drives my husband nuts, but I live a different life with it.

You're welcome! If you get weirded out, just listen to the mantras. It is good to listen to before bed.

Of course!
