Ep 132: 4 Common Misconceptions About Perfectionism


Listen Later

Before I understood what perfectionism *really* is, I thought it was a positive personality trait and I didn't think it was one I had. Perfectionists are neat, tidy and organised - right?

The more I talk about the perfectionist mindset, the more misconceptions I hear. So in this episode, I'm sharing some of the biggest misconceptions about perfectionism in the hope it'll make you a little more willing to let go of perfectionism and get into a growth mindset.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

  • Whether perfectionists are neat, tidy and organised
  • What perfectionism really is and where this way of thinking comes from
  • Why perfectionism doesn't make us more successful
  • How perfectionism actually stops us from achieving our goals, rather than helping us
  • Why being a perfectionist doesn't mean you're broken
  • The truth about whether it's possible to escape the perfectionist mindset for good
