If you find yourself afraid of failing, having trouble starting tasks because they feel overwhelming, and feel as though your effort is never good enough unless you’re absolutely perfect - you may be living with perfectionism. This is common among people who are high-achieving, achievement oriented, considered a gifted kid in school, and/or were criticized for anything less than ‘perfection’.

How does this impact you now? You may overwork yourself, take on more tasks than you can handle, feel overwhelmed to start a task out of fear of not meeting the expectations of others or yourself, procrastinate because you “work well under pressure”, and have trouble acknowledging what you’ve done well because your mind is focused on anything you may perceive as a shortcoming. Sound familiar?

To help you break the perfectionism cycle, we’ll dive into how these tendencies were reinforced and use your strengths to practice a balanced mindset - allowing you to feel pride, joy, and happiness at your accomplishments despite being imperfect.

I’m ready when you are!
