You just blew my mind a little... I'm a master at compartmentalizing these aspects of my life so that never dawned on me to think in those terms.
I suppose I would tell them three things:
1) Slow down & be patient.
2) Attack a manageable number of measurable goals.
3) Nobody is perfect.
I suppose all three of those are more than applicable to my current personal situation.
Oddly enough, a good friend told me recently that she wished I could exude my professional presence in my personal life... Again, I compartmentalize... I feel confident at work... But in my personal life, with myself, I've never been comfortable.
