Loving Later Life

How to Give Up Perfectionism


Listen Later

Do you feel that everything needs to be 'perfect' before you start something, do something, or even think about it doing something? Perfectionism. How often do you allow this 'ism' to keep you from enjoying your day-to-day life by making perfect, the enemy of progress?

To be honest, it almost kept me from doing this podcast. The perfection monster likes to take up space in our heads telling us things like: if you can't do it perfectly don't do it at all, don't even think of trying something new because you won't do it perfectly right away, just wait until the 'perfect time' when you feel ready, or don't date or buy new clothes until you get to the perfect weight. If we allow it, this monster can rob us of doing what will bring us joy, fulfillment, fun, and from living whole-heartedly. I hope you'll come with me while we kick this 'ism's' butt!
