35 - Why Perfectionism Is Unhelpful: How To Accept Your Imperfections
Annaliese and Alan talk through some reasons we try to be perfect through life's twists and turns, and how it actually works against us. Annaliese brings up the importance of slowing down to reflect on our experiences and catching where we're holding unhelpful standards of perfectionism over ourselves instead of living more fully and freely as we are.
Here's more of what you'll hear:
-Discover your unhelpful standards:
Ever felt the weight of pursuing perfection without even defining what it means to you? This is a common struggle! You can help yourself set better standards that inspire growth and resonate with who you really are.
-Spotlighting anxiety triggers:
Have you ever found yourself paralyzed by the fear of not measuring up? Tune in to shine a light on those moments of heightened pressure, helping you recognize exactly when perfectionism is holding you back.
-Embracing imperfection:
You'll learn about better ways to navigating your discomfort. Embracing your own imperfection, a little at a time, fosters growth and frees you from the concrete wall of unreachable perfection.
STEPS TO ACCEPT YOUR IMPERFECTIONS MORE:
- Awareness: Slow down and tune into those moments when you're uncomfortable with your own imperfection... this is where you're holding a standard over yourself that just isn't helpful.
- Reflection: Name and explore the feelings driving your discomfort, uncover for yourself the reasons why they're there inside you.
- Intention: Define how you want to feel and think about yourself in moments of failure, limitiations, and mistakes.
- Empowerment: Challenge the status quo of perfectionism - you don't even want it, if you're honest with yourself! Take control of your thoughts and the perspectives you pick to live from.
- Authenticity: Your journey is unique, focus on your own personal growth and progress when you find yourself comparing.
