In episode 89, I’m discussing something that many people struggle with - perfectionism. This includes myself and my husband and I share our personal stories of how we manage this.
How can we start to embrace imperfection? Perfectionism is a personality trait that's
characterised by a relentless pursuit of flawless standards, often accompanied by critical self-evaluations and a fear of making mistakes. In this episode, I’m sharing the two sides of perfection and why we as a society struggle to let go.
I’m also discussing the traits of perfectionism and why they are ultimately just signs of
procrastination. The fear of failure, for instance, can really hold you back from doing what you really want to accomplish.
Key takeaways include:
● The risk of setting your standards too high
● Identifying control patterns
● Seeking external validation to feel worthy
● Experimenting with imperfection and my personal story of doing this
● Steps to begin to let go and free yourself from perfectionism
