Something I've learned about having this sort of personality.
I had to learn to address things in small portions vice the mountain.
For instance, instead of fretting because a big job is not done, I enjoy the success of completing a small portion toward it. Instead of feeling depressed because I've not lost ALL the weight I want, I rejoice in the loss of a pound. And so on ...
So, "yes" there is a "let go and let God" aspect for our types of personalities, but He does use us to achieve things ... so I prefer a picture of easing off the accelerator.

I remember going to a seminar and they talked about people who "should all over themselves." I should do this, I should do that, I should be this, etc. It really made me think about the fact that what I SHOULD be is who God made me to be, and what I SHOULD do, is what God leads me to do. The tricky part is separating what you believe or think because someone taught you to, from what God REALLY wants you to do.

God gave you a set of gifts and talents, and he also gave you a passion for certain things. Part of my quest in life, is to get to know myself better and learn where those gifts and passion come together. When I am doing things that use my gifts or fulfill my passions (preferably both at the same time), I enjoy it greatly and it gives me energy. Not only that, I make an impact on others at the same time.

All in all though, I find that knowing myself and finding what I want to do and who I want to be is a journey, not something I arrive it. Sometimes, part of the fun, is the journey itself and everything I learn along the way.

BTW, I try to eat right, exercise and get enough sleep, but those are definitely areas where I struggle. I find that my current job, is tending to take more time than I want, and interfere with what I want to do for health. I generally eat right, except if my sweet tooth leads me to some piece of candy. I was doing a great job of exercising every day, but let myself get too busy, and struggle to get enough sleep on a daily basis....I do catch up on weekends. I just know that this job, isn't the job that fits what I described above, but I'm working toward a change to that job as well. In the meantime, I accept that I have time constraints right now, and look forward to when I can remove them.
