My blog, Inspirations by Kathryn J. Raths includes posts from 2009 to 2016 that were an extension of my Healthy Living Examiner column which has been closed. However, the articles are being revamped as an extension of Kathryn J. Raths.com, which is in the making! The image is a self-portrait I drew in oil pastels; the woods gift me a deep connection with nature and safety!

Examiner article
I have always thought of myself as a perfectionist although I never thought this was a good thing. I've sacrificed a lot of health because of this unrealistic expectation I've put on myself.
Watching Life Class and listening to Brene Brown's perspective has given me a new understanding of my inappropriate quest to be perfect. Perhaps, I'm hiding behind this to avoid negative feedback? I've never thought of this in this way before, but it makes sense. I do not know anyone who likes backlash but regardless of how hard I try or anyone tries for that matter, there are always people who do not approve. We have to learn to live our lives for ourselves. It is the best way to live!
