Original Advice
“Perfection won't quiet your nervous system: You can’t out-achieve anxiety. Chasing flawless results to feel safe just teaches your brain to demand more. Rest, boundaries, and imperfect action are nonnegotiable.”
Control Won't Calm Your Pulse
Your nervous system is not a spreadsheet. It does not close tickets when you hit perfect. Every gold star trains the alarm to ring louder. You are building a cage out of A+ work. Stop polishing the bars. Choose ugly progress. Choose sleep over one more pass. Choose a boundary over a badge. Perfection is caffeine for fear, not medicine.
Safety does not live in spotless outcomes; it lives in rhythm. Brains chase what you reward. When you only reward flawless, you wire panic to performance. The bar climbs, the floor drops, the sprint never ends. Interrupt the loop. Rest like it’s a task. Draw the line and leave. Ship at 80% and watch the static fade. Teach your body that okay is safe.
Cosmic Context
