How Perfectionism Holds You Back (And One Simple Strategy To Take Your Power Back)
**CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE PRESSURE TO PEACE WAITLIST**
Perfectionism is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's not just about aiming for excellence, but rather a fear-driven state of hyper-arousal that can lead to a powerful sense of helplessness and hopelessness.
So, how can we battle this beast? This episode is a personal journey through the ups and downs of of perfectionism and depression, where I unravel the roots of my perfectionism, understand it's triggers and what it sought to protect me from.
Navigating perfectionism and depression hasn't been an easy journey for me. From the depths of my despair, I've uncovered the profound truth that depression is not simply sadness or an emotional low; it's a crippling sense of helplessness and hopelessness.
Far from the common misconceptions, it engulfs your life with a darkness that's hard to come out of. This isn't just my story, but a reflection of the battles fought by many who struggle with perfectionism and any other mental health struggles.
The paradox of being able to support others on their healing journey while struggling to keep my own head above water was something that I really struggled to understand. Peeling back the layers of perfectionism, I discovered a state of hyper-arousal fueled by fear, not ambition.
Yet, it isn't all doom and gloom. The mantra 'imperfect is the new perfect' has been a game-changer, and the key to sustainable productivity by calming our perfectionist parts and learning to stay present.
Together, we can flip the narrative, calm our anxieties, and celebrate the beauty of imperfection. Tune in for a deep, personal exploration and let's reframe our understanding of perfectionism together.
