69 - does perfectionism have a stranglehold on you living your life?
Perfectionism is an excuse that many of us use for not completing a task or project. We will say it's not good enough, so we continue to work on it, or move onto another project instead of completing the one we've already begun. Perfectionism will cause us to procrastinate, waste time working on the same task, delays improvement and creates senseless anxiety and stress.
Mistakes are normal, to be expected and help the improvement process. We can use a deadline to limit our time wasted and never finish a task. Comparison is a component of perfectionism that keeps us bound from progress. Honestly, who do you know who is perfect? Persuing great quality is fantastic, but hiding behind the excuse of perfectionism isn't beneficial to you or others. Ask for help or input, it can aid in moving things forward as well.
The root question to ask is, am I hiding behind perfectionism for fear of something? Are you afraid of others' reactions? Are you fearful that it might be a failure, and then categorize you as a failure too? What is really going on behind the scenes? Delve into it with honesty, yet also give yourself grace and compassion. Start taking action, completing what you begin and living your best life!
