#23 - Perfectionism is Lonely The Peaceful Productivity Podcast
-
- Mental Health
When we are stuck in perfectionism we are effectively building a 'tower' of over-preparation.
Over time, this tower becomes less about accomplishment and more about defending ourselves against criticism.
Criticism from others, sure, but really, we are defending ourselves from our own inner critic.
We hold ourselves to impossibly high standards and then 'get caught up' in trying to achieve these high standards... never quite achieving.
While this tower might be successful in defending ourselves from criticism, it turns out that this tower also defends us against enjoyment and connection.
Which, paradoxically, are the two ingredients that we REALLY need to realize progress and accomplishment.
So this is where we get stuck.
In this episode, I offer some tips on how to interrupt this cycle and start appreciating yourself for all of the things that you are ALREADY doing.
