Laying Aside the Weight of Perfectionism | Golden Child Syndrome | Learning to Embrace Our Limitations | Cognitive Distortions and CBT | S1 EP6
“There is a kind of person who seems - at first glance - to benefit from an admirable degree of self-motivation, thoroughness and drive. They are up at dawn, they rarely take holidays, they are always sneaking in an extra hour or two of work. Their bosses are highly impressed, they are constantly promoted and their grades have constantly been excellent since primary school. We might anoint them with the word ‘perfectionism.’” - The School of Life
On episode 6 of The Evergreen Podcast, Ruth and Josh shed light on the experience with perfectionism as it's infiltrated relational dynamics, starting creative ventures and their spiritual walks. The hosts propose the view that perfectionism is more a vice than a virtue which avert our eyes from the One who is perfect. Whilst high goals and ambitions are noble and integral to human flourishing, there can also come a point where these goals can be sources of crippling and unnecessary anxiety manifest as procrastination, inauthenticity, and inertia.
We hope that this episode inspires you to focus on progress not perfection.
Have a blessed start to the week!
