Going easy on myself.

I think I'm starting to realize the unnecessary challenges I might be bringing upon myself by my somewhat intense self-criticism. I expect a lot of myself, which is a good thing, but I think I tend to do it to a fault. It seems that it often leads me to inaction, paralyzing my efforts to do anything I am not entirely sure will live up to my personal expectations. It can often lead me to be more sad about my failures than I need to be as well. So, I think I need to relax a bit... and not be so hard on myself all the time. Just keep moving forward!
