You finish something.
And almost immediately:
“I could have done that better.”
Even when:
- it’s objectively fine
- no one else has an issue
This is for you if…
- You constantly second-guess your work
- You struggle to feel satisfied with what you do
- You hold yourself to a higher standard than everyone else
The internal standard
It’s not just:
doing well
It’s:
doing it perfectly
What people don’t see
From the outside:
- you’re competent
- detail-oriented
- reliable
Internally:
- you’re critical
- tense
- never fully settled
This didn’t come out of nowhere
You may have learned early on:
- mistakes weren’t really okay
- doing well meant being valued
- being consistent mattered
So now your brain runs on:
“Don’t mess this up.”
This connects to:
- being the “good child” → (link to that blog)
- anxiety at work → (link to Blog #1)
- overthinking decisions → (future blog or related)
The cost
You get things done.
But:
- you don’t feel good about them
- you don’t feel done
- you don’t feel at ease
If nothing ever feels like “enough”—
You don’t have to keep operating like this.
