Trina,
I very much enjoyed your article and thoughts about a popular issue in this world. I believe this situation comes from trying to take ownership of things not to be owned. I hope that makes sense.
I believe that the answer to your question is in your thoughts. For just a short time, focus on what negative thoughts are becoming trapped inside. Question yourself and ask "what put the thoughts there". Are they related to the heart? I have found that when I have a negative thought, it is because I lack love in that area of my life. I look at how to modify the relationship with love.
Negative thoughts can appear when we process a judgement in absolutes. As a perfectionist myself, it was hard to allow things to stay imperfect. I realized that nothing can ever be 100% pefect and accepted a 60% level. LOL!!! Believe me that wasn't easy!
One thing that may help you as did for me is to not own the responsibility of keeping things perfect. If another person fails to do something different than the way you would have done it, don't own what they did. I could write all day about this, but I must go get some work done. LOL!!!
