good for you, hurtbeat, for realizing such things as going too fast or taking on too much at once. that's progress, in my book. well done!
that perfectionism and impatience thing can really do a number on us, set us back when we wanted to move forward. i guess that's why people talk about slow and small steps. it's something i've had to work on a lot.
i've gotten chest pain when i've felt afraid, and have finally been able to recognize it as that. my next step is to explore what it is i'm afraid about. i don't know if you relate to that or not, but it's helped me understand a lot more how my body is talking to me when i haven't been able to access my emotions immediately.
sounds like you're doing just what you need to do for you. very smart!
