The Perfectionism Project

Ep 425: Why Lowering Your Goals Isn't The Answer


Listen Later

As a perfectionist it's hard to imagine a world where you're successful without having put a huge amount of pressure on yourself too. We attribute our drive and accomplishments to the way we urge ourselves to do more and do better. Which begs the question - how do you stop putting pressure on yourself without giving up on your goals? And that's what I'm answering in this episode.

I'm also sharing a personal recording that I never planned to release on this podcast. It was recorded in October 2021 when I was feeling suffocated by the pressure and expectations I was putting on myself. I hope that by me sharing it it reminds you that we all go through ups and downs. And that you're not failing, you're feeling.
