How to Recover From Being a Perfectionist (Good, Better, Best) Pulling Back the Curtain
-
- Business
I sometimes joke (but not really joking) that I’m a recovering perfectionist. Anyone else feel that way? 🙋🏼♀️
I used to really struggle with an all-or-nothing mentality. If I couldn’t do things perfectly I would just push them off until I thought I “had enough time” or the situation was “just right” for things to be perfect.
A few years ago I learned how to use the “good, better, best” technique to help me still keep my promises to myself even if I couldn’t be perfect.
This one simple trick has helped me learn to train my brain that I can say I’m going to do something and actually do it….even if it’s not as perfect as I actually wanted. This process is what helps me gain momentum towards the things I want to get done instead of getting stuck in the “I’ll start again on Monday” mentality.
I just released a new podcast where I teach this process to you guys, and give you specific examples of times I applied this. I hope you like it!
