Journal Party

Ep. 94 - Overcoming Perfectionism: Writing for Self-Compassion


Listen Later

In this episode of Journal Party, we tackle the often debilitating habit of perfectionism. Perfectionism can lead to stress, burnout, and a cycle of self-criticism, but through guided journaling, we can learn to overcome it with self-compassion. Join Alex as he guides you through five powerful journal prompts designed to help you recognize and challenge your unrealistic standards, offer yourself the kindness you give to others, celebrate your daily successes, prioritize joy, and embrace imperfection for positive outcomes.

Journal Prompts:

  1. What are the unrealistic standards I hold myself to, and how do they impact my life?
  2. Think about a recent situation where you felt you failed. How would you comfort a friend in the same situation?
  3. List three things you did well today, no matter how small.
  4. What activities bring you joy and make you lose track of time?
  5. Describe a time when you embraced imperfection and it led to a positive outcome.
