49. Hunger for Perfection: How Your Perfectionism is Undermining Your Success with Dr. Adrienne Youdim Health Bite

I’m back for another installment of my Hungry for More series, and this week I’m talking about a chapter that resonates with most people: Hunger for Perfection. So many of us strive for perfection, but we fail to realize that by its very nature, perfection is unattainable, and trying to achieve it can lead to self-criticism and negative self-talk. In this episode, I discuss how to get past perfectionism and seek and embrace our own humanity.
 Highlights:
How seeking perfection ultimately undermines your self-worth and interferes with your success.Why perfectionism is defeating, demoralizing, and impediment to personal growth.How perfectionism can often lead to a fear of failure, and in turn, a failure to even start.The antidote to perfectionism, and how it can lead to greater overall well-being.A writing practice to help embrace our imperfections and our own humanity.
