How to Overcome Perfectionism: 6 Powerful Habits
“Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks.”Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe“People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it.”Edith SchaefferOne of the most common challenges that people email me about – and I myself have had quite a bit of trouble with – is perfectionism.It’s an issue that can hold you back in life.
Not only from achieving and finishing what you want.But sometimes from even getting started. While at the same time draining your self-esteem, causing self-doubt and getting you stuck in a negative spiral where it can become harder and harder to start moving forward.So today I’d like to share 6 things that have helped me – and still helps me to this day – with this destructive and distracting thought habit.1.
