Perfectionism Has NO Place In Life

Perfectionism Has NO Place In Life

WHEN her daughter has a special event, surely mom would spend all her time to make-over her beauty.  WHEN we go for a car wash, we're so patient to wait the car wash personnel to  complete his work with no single speck of dust left.  WHEN we buy our clothes or apparel, before paying it off, we'll check to make sure it is perfect with no single slightest damage.  And are they NO-NOs?  No sirrrrrs, they're all perfectly alright because it has to go that way but hold on, here's the catch.  PERFECTIONISM Has NO Place In Life so we can't get this embedded in our daily life day-in day-out else we'll fall flat on our face💊💊💊

On the other hand, PERFECTIONISM is often seen as a positive trait that increases your chances to success BUT hold on.  That could lead to self-defeating thoughts or behaviors that make it harder to achieve one's goals.  It may even cause stress, anxiety and depression.  People who strive for PERFECTION out of feelings of inadequacy or failure may find it helpful to think about it💎💎💎

So why DON'T we take a step back and reach a common ground of PERFECTIONISM.  It is often defined as that need to be or appear to be PERFECT or to even believe that it's possible to achieve PERFECTION.  It is typically viewed as a POSITIVE trait rather than a flaw and some may even tag it as 'HEALTHY PERFECTIONISM' to justify such a PERFECTIONIST behavior📌📌📌

At work [when the pandemic work-from-home is over], you can have that PERFECT desk.  But studies have shown that PERFECTIONISM is NOT the same thing as striving to be your best.  PERFECTION is NOT about healthy achievement and growth but rather, people tend to use it as a shield to PROTECT against the pain of blame, judgment or worst, shame✅✅✅

So, please DON'T get me wrong.  You can continue to aim for PERFECTION and go way beyond the roof but more so as an inspiration and motivational drive.  Once you fall short of your goal, let it NOT be the alibi or excuse as to why you fell short of your goal.  Just pick up the pieces again and lest you forget, PERFECTIONISM has NO place in life❗❗❗
