HOW TO OVERCOME PERFECTIONISM » Done is better than perfect

HOW TO OVERCOME PERFECTIONISM » Done is better than perfect. Hello my perfectionist friends! Time for some RealTalk today :) About letting go of perfectionism, and learning that Done is better than perfect.

I used to be quite the perfectionist. I held myself to very high standards, and I strove for perfection in the things I did. If I felt I wouldn't be able to meet those standards, I simply wouldn't start it. Procrastination of the things I secretly wanted, but was afraid to do, was part of the game. And quite frankly, the constant need to do everything perfectly was exhausting. I didn't have those extremely high standards for anyone else, so why did I have them for me?

Eventually I learned that overcoming perfectionism is doable. It's possible. If you practice, and take some time to do some soul searching. If you want to know how to stop being a perfectionist, then start asking yourself why you want things to be perfect. It's the reason why perfectionism and anxiety often go hand in hand.

In this video, I share some personal stories that helped me to stop being a perfectionist. And also some practical tips that you can start doing today, to overcome your fears, anxiety and perfectionistic tendencies.

I talked about letting go of perfectionism in some earlier videos, and it turns out there are quite a few perfectionists in the Simple Happy Zen community! :) So I thought it would be good to dedicate an entire video on this subject. Because I think being less hard on yourself, lowering your demands on yourself, is one of the best things we can do to stay happy and healthy in life.

In what areas in your life are you a perfectionist? Is it work? Hobbies? Projects? Your appearance? Or all of the above? Share your story in the comments, let's discuss!

Lots of love,
🌼 Vera
