Zechariah 4:5 MSG - You can’t force these things. They only come about through my Spirit,’ - Not by your power or might - but God’s
Some Tips on Combatting Perfectionism and Control
- focus on God - Not Self, so basically our character - not our accomplishments
- Instead of comparing yourself to others - know your worth in Christ
- Allow yourself to do things imperfectly (i.e. my painting class)
- Shift focus from pleasing others - to pleasing God (He is already pleased with you, but this simple mindset change can help a lot)
- Combat your negative thoughts with TRUTH through scripture
