Happy feelings and permission

Again I'm obsessed with thinking about everything I have to do, and it's bringing me down. Thinking about all the things I have to do depresses me and gives me anxiety. Using a to-do list helps, but not enough, I still get so obsessed about things. But what I really need to do right now is to make myself happy. No, make is the wrong verb to use. Perhaps allow myself to be happy. Give myself permission to feel good. That's a big step for me, giving myself permission to feel good. And giving myself the permission to occasionally not be so perfectionistic about doing every little thing in just the right way. Today, I will give myself permission to relax a little and not obsess.
