Anxiety of a Perfectionist
The trick in life is learning how to deal with it.--Helen Mirren Life is full of uncertainties. Dealing with the unknown future is what categorizes what it means to live as a human being. Bad times are intermixed with good times and sometimes conquering those adversities make one stronger. However, sometimes enough is enough. Do you remember having those days that no matter what you do or how hard you work nothing goes your way? Or you do everything right but still everything turns 180 on you? I am sure majority of us had those days--hopefully not too often. Now let us take that and consider people who have the tendency to continuously beat themselves up. For someone who is a perfectionist, insomnia and anxiety could be his constant companion when everything goes awry. Consider though, how productive is that? You worry about what the future might bring as a result of the past. You lose sleep due to that thought, then you perform even worse because you lost sleep. Seems self-defeating, doesn't it? Well, it is. What can you do to take your mind off the loop of self-reprimand or worrying?

Introverts
It's dreadful what little things lead people to misunderstand each other. --L.M. Montgomery I recently overheard my coworkers talking that they hate associating with introverts because they are anti-social and does not like anyone. I was surprised to hear my other coworker's response that only well-raised introverts say "hello." Meanwhile, I am laughing in my head because I am picturing a comic strip with these girls' comments in bubbles and arrows labelled "introvert" pointing at the two people next to them who happen to be their bosses.
