Calling All Perfectionist & Controllers!

Is perfectionism holding you back?

We are talking about the five different dimensions of self-sabotage: people-pleasing, perfectionism, procrastination, avoidance, and inconsistency. Today we're going to chat about perfectionism. So, people who struggle with control and making everything perfect are self-sabotaging. I reveal how this can show up, hinder you, and what you can do about it. If this topic is exciting to you, I encourage you to go back and check out our ending self-sabotage part one and two episodes that lay the foundation of what self-sabotage is and how you can begin to shift and change it.

First, I dive into what perfectionism means. When we have high standards of people, no matter how hard they try, it's never going to be enough. There's a purpose to why we play around with perfectionism. When we can identify the purpose, we can release it and get resolved profoundly in a different direction. So, tune in as I dig deep into perfectionism because it has the most significant impact on your inability to relax, unwind, or unplug.

In this Episode:

  • [ 3:05 ] How does a rancher keep track of all of his cattle?
  • [ 3:30 ] The definition of perfectionism
  • [ 8:45 ] Check the motives behind your standards
  • [ 13:30 ] Sink into understanding what is at the root of perfectionism

 

Joy Filling Quotes: 

  • “When we have such high standards for ourselves, our children, our spouses, or the people in our lives, it creates this level of anxiety.”
  • “Check the motives of your standards and your expectations.”
  • “I want you to begin to challenge your standards, and allow room for imperfection.”
  • “Life is meant to be messy.”
  • “Imperfection is perfection.”
