Like this:

I must be perfect.
Everything I do should go easily and without effort.
It’s safer to do nothing than to take a risk and fail.
I should have no limitations.
If it’s not done right, it’s not worth doing at all.
I must avoid being challenged.
If I do well this time, I must always do well.
Following someone else’s rules means that I’m giving in and I’m not in control.
I can’t afford to let go of anything or anyone.
If I show my real self, people won’t like me.
There is a right answer, and I’ll wait until I find it.

“Procrastination is a battle for more than just control, it is a battle for self-worth and self-respect.”
