We're wired to believe that perfectionism is something that achieves success but in reality perfectionism can end up holding you back and cause more stress and strain on your life.

Do you find that you have an inner critique that's telling you that 'you're a failure' if something is not done right or how you will never be good enough because of a comment someone made about something you had done?

Are you always striving have to 'perfect' and in the end it either never gets finished or overwhelms you causing you more stress and unhappiness?

In this episode we discuss why perfectionism leads to paralysis and the little changes you can make to your daily life to feel much better about it.
