Letting Go of Perfectionism
There is a HUGE myth around perfectionism – so many people believe that their unrealistic high standards are key to their success so far, and therefore letting go of these would cause their performance to slip. This is not about letting go of audacious goals, but about not being defined by the results we achieve. It’s about separating your self-worth from what you attain, a subtlety that we can sometimes lose focus of. Not meeting these standards is not a failure, and it might be worth challenging your expectations. Are they realistic or are you setting yourself up to fail from the start?
