In this episode I open up about my own personal journey through recognising my perfectionist ways, and the subsequent impact they’ve had on areas of my life such as decision making, mental health and business. I explore how acknowledging our own tendencies, being thankful for them, but then tweaking them with kindness leads to positive results and a happier life.
I have also selected a handful of tips to share which might support those of you with similar perfectionist tendencies, to harness your desire to set high personal standards, without allowing that to prevent you realising your ambitions.
I delve into:
- Where it all began for me
- How lockdown prompted me to observe my patterns
- Real life examples of me overcoming the hold of perfectionism
- Why I hope I don’t pass this trait onto my children
- Confessing that I’m not ‘there’ yet!
As well as my own thoughts and learnings, I reference the wonderful Brené Brown, sharing a short passage from her incredible book ‘The Gifts of Imperfection’ which I strongly recommend you all go out and buy.
