87 - Perfectionism is the antithesis of high performance – here's why!

Perfectionism is one of the common, and one of the most debilitating sources of chronic stress, overwhelm and burnout. However, many perfectionists are completely oblivious to the fact that they struggle with perfectionism. Perfectionism is NOT the same as having high standards. Perfectionism is fear and stress based. High standards are outcome and purpose based. At the surface level, perfectionism is when you can't stop looking for what's not good enough – in your work, in your decisions, and even in yourself. You keep looking for the flaws, the inadequacies, what you've missed or overlooked, what other people could dislike, disagree with, or criticise. So nothing you ever do feels good enough, tasks take 10X longer than they need to, and you train your brain to hate your work! Once you become aware of the pattern, overcoming perfectionism can feel like an insurmountable mountain to climb. In fact, overcoming perfectionism can be surprisingly fast when you understand what's REALLY going on. Episode 87 dives into the subconscious drivers of perfectionism, and how to go from a stressed, overwhelmed perfectionist, to a calm, confident and relaxed high performer with exceptional personal standards. ______________________________ www.ChaseLifeConsulting.com Strategic Mindset & Performance Consulting: Accelerating Business Growth for Experienced Entrepreneurs If you have any questions for the podcast please send them to: [email protected]
