Perfectionism
Do you frequently set high standards for yourself? Do you feel that it’s never good enough, no matter how hard you try? Perfectionism can help you move forward, but it can also create pressure and stress.
You are hard on yourself and want to do everything perfectly
Perfectionism often revolves around striving for flawlessness and holding yourself to high expectations. This can go hand in hand with a strong inner critic and a fear of failing or making mistakes. You may spend a lot of time on details or find it hard to finish something because it ‘could still be better’. This can cause stress and make it difficult to enjoy your achievements. You may compare yourself to others or only feel satisfied when everything is perfect. In the long term, perfectionism can lead to exhaustion, procrastination and insecurity.
Let go of unrealistic goals and enjoy greater peace of mind and self-acceptance
By becoming aware of your perfectionist patterns, you can learn to develop more lenient and realistic expectations. Gradually learn to make room for ‘good enough’ and trust your own pace more. With a coach as your sidekick, you can work towards greater peace of mind and self-acceptance.
