Healthy Perfectionism vs. Unhealthy Perfectionism

Kamini is a recovering perfectionist. These ‘perfection’ tendencies are just part of who Kamini is as a person and part of her personality traits, but that doesn’t mean they always work to her benefit. Perfectionists typically hold a belief that they’re the only ones who can get it right and that no one else can do as good of a job as them. Although this may or may not be true, this doesn’t help us scale or grow as a person.    Perfectionists hold a lot of weight and burden on their shoulders and they have constant stress because they don’t feel like they can get a break from all the things ‘life’ is throwing at them. They also feel like the project they’re working on isn’t good enough or ready yet, which can cause delays and put them in a prime position for burnout.    However, perfectionism isn’t all bad! There are different types of perfectionistic behavior that can actually help us get things done to a high level of standard. Some of the best ways to take on these positive benefits is to have a growth mindset and by challenging yourself to set high goals and standards. If you also include an element of self-compassion into your perfectionism, this can be exactly the rocket fuel you need to achieve your goals, without being burned out.   Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
