Ripple-Effect Faith with Twyla Franz

Self-pity is not neutral. All the while we maintain composure and let self-pity subside at its own pace, it's wreaking havoc on our mental health. It's time to go on the offensive and reclaim the ground self-pity has stolen.

I've got a thing with control. I like to paint it as a virtue because self-control sounds less harsh. Like less of a problem. But it actually isn't. 
Your need to feel in control might come out in different ways than mine. Perhaps you vocalize more than internalize. Perhaps you extend your controlling efforts externally rather than internally. But it's the same thieving trio–fear, pride, and shame–eroding your peace, dimming your light, and keeping you in a rut.

Can we go there–to the root of our unruly inner dialogues–so we can find peace and strength and mental relief? That's my invitation to you today. 
Our inner thoughts have had too much say for too long. They keep us in the shadows, thinking small. They sabotage our friendships and our focus. Cloud out the voice of God so we think we're on our own.
Where do we start? Here, with five easy-to-implement practices to keep our self-talk in check.

Maybe there's a similarly pesky voice of perfectionism following you around inside your head, telling you that you should be able to get incrementally better. Every. Single. Day.
It's relentless.
You're worn out from all your undue try-hard. 
But also, maybe you carry a bit of shame around with your perfectionism. 
You're told you worry too much.
Focus on the wrong things.
Care too much about your work.
Can we talk about you? How you can be a perfectionist and have peace of mind? How you don't have to turn off your desire to do your best? How your perfectionism can be an asset, not just to you or a supervisor, but for God's kingdom?
