Writing forces consciousness.

Striving for excellence is a positive quality. Striving for perfection is self-defeating.

We don't have to do it any better than we can - ever. Do our best for the moment, then let it go. If we have to redo it, we can do our best in another moment, later.

We can say what we need to say. We can gently, but assertively, speak our mind. We do not need to be judgmental, tactless, blaming or cruel when we speak our truths.

Perspective will come in retrospect.

Anger is a warning signal. It points to problems.

Love yourself just as you are.
