Does Perfectionism control your life?

Does Perfectionism control your life?

Does perfectionism control your life? How can you refine your perfectionist tendencies while allowing them to serve you? In this episode we share how our journey of recognizing how perfectionism shows up in our lives has both served us, but has also stopped us from moving forward on projects, dreams, and visions. 

We share what has worked for us in recognizing and trusting our perfectionist tendencies, along with some tips for you to recognize when perfectionism is helping you, and when it’s holding you back.

Questions and prompts for further guidance: 

  • Do you have ways you manage your perfectionist tendencies? Awareness is one practice you can start today. Stop, reflect, slow down, and/or work with others to recognize where perfectionism stops you. Bring it into your awareness so you can transform it. 
  • When you catch yourself in perfectionism, stop and ask “Am I going to let this stop me?”
  • Allow yourself more freedom through messy creativity!
  • Trust the process and what you have ‘in the moment’.
  • Is your creativity ‘lost’? Where can you give yourself permission to be more creative as a response to perfectionism? 
  • Some phrases to explore for your own journey through perfectionism:
  • Imperfect action
  • Done is better than perfect
