#62 - Taming Perfectionism

Did you know you that you can be a perfectionist and not have a perfect life? It's true! If you know the difference between a debit and a credit, you just might be a perfectionist. This week you'll learn that: The accounting profession is a breeding ground for perfectionism.   Perfectionism isn't about arrogance or a lack of humility, it's about the fear of not doing enough or being enough. Whether it shows up in your tendency to procrastinate, your lack of self-confidence or the feeling of burnout, striving for perfection as a female accountant mom is a much bigger issue than you may realize.   Taming perfectionism doesn't mean giving up on success or settling for mediocrity.  The key in taming perfectionism is understanding how your negative-focused brain has been judging you like a drill sergeant who never has anything nice to say about you because they think that's the way  it will motivate you.    The best thing you can do is to manage your mind, take back control of the script and write a story that feels better to tell yourself and share with others.
