One of the common themes that come up among my clients and in my personal life is perfectionism. I recently caught myself procrastinating and realized this occasional habit of mine is rooted in my past perfectionism, and the same could be true for you too. With that in mind, I’m treating you this week by revisiting one of our most impactful episodes: Are You a Perfectionist?
We often tend to deny our own perfectionism, not recognizing that’s where the behaviors of procrastinating and overthinking really come from. So, if you’re struggling in any area of your life, taking a deep look at any perfectionistic tendencies you have playing in the background will give you some valuable insight and allow you to start breaking any patterns that you aren’t happy with.
Tune in this week to discover where perfectionism comes from and how it’s currently impacting your life, possibly without you realizing it. I’m sharing how perfectionism becomes a hard-wired part of everything we do, the patterns it creates in our lives, and I’m giving you a step-by-step process to start changing your perfectionism forever.
