Dear perfectionists,

Rabbi Abraham L. Feinberg's
10 Spiritual Tonics
  1. Stop worrying. Worry kills life.
  2. Begin each day with a prayer. It will arm your soul.
  3. Control appetite. Over-indulgence clogs body and mind,
  4. Accept your limitations…
  5. Don’t envy. It wastes time and energy.
  6. Have faith in people. Cynicism sours the disposition.
  7. Find a hobby. It will relax your nerves.
  8. Read a book a week to stimulate imagination and broaden your views.
  9. Spend some time alone for the peace of solitude and silence.
  10. Try to want what you have, instead of spending your strength trying to get what you want. 
Happy Lent! To all the ruminating readers obsessing over how to perfectly transform your life by impulsively taking on 12098234908 sacrifices for Lent, STOP. You won't get better. Maybe Jesus is trying to tell you something. ;)

Stop trying so hard. Stop thinking so much. STOP WORRYING. WORRYING KILLS LIFE. Stop trying to make it better. Stop trying to muscle your way into a perfect life. Stop, and just let Him love you. He's very, very good at what He does.

Enjoy. ;)
