The Enough Syndrome

The enough syndrome, have you ever heard of it? Are you a sufferer of it? It's a term I've phrased to describe a certain part of my personality.

There I was eyes popping open bright and super early this morning with a panicked feeling concerning today's get-together at Granny's to celebrate Mother's day. I woke up instantly reviewing in my head the things we are bringing for the meal. I made a spinach dip and 2 pies yesterday. Yet I have this feeling that's not enough! I should have done more is what my brain was saying to me.

I've had this syndrome for quite some time. I think I had the "barely get by" syndrome when I was in high school but soon after officially becoming an adult and heading to college the "enough syndrome" has controlled a huge part of me. At some point on most days these are the likely thoughts running through my head:

Was I a good enough wife to Brad today?
Was I a good enough fur baby mommie today?
Did I do enough good quality research today?
Is dinner going to be pleasing enough tonight?
Did I do enough laundry?
Did I workout hard enough and long enough for the day?
Did I get a good enough gift for my mom/mother-in-law?...


You get the point the list goes on and on! Not sure what exactly that is within me that causes the "enough syndrome", perhaps I'm borderline crazy(hopefully, the good kind of crazy) or I have a serious type-A personality...not sure. 

I guess at the end of the day it's not such a bad thing. It drives me to reach high. Although I wish I had just a tiny bit more drive to just RELAX and not sweat the small stuff...tell my brain, I've done enough! That being stated, I don't ever want to relax about the top two on my list above. :)
