Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, it’s never quite enough?
This is the hidden weight of perfectionism.
Many of us erroneously assume that perfectionism is associated with ‘being perfect,’ but it is not just about aiming for excellence.
Perfectionism is about the relentless pressure to meet impossibly high standards, even when it takes a toll on your well-being. You might notice it showing up in certain areas of your life, like work or school, while being less of a factor elsewhere. The problem is, that perfectionism comes with significant downsides (e.g., stress, burnout and unhappiness).
The good news, it is possible to break free from perfectionism.
