The Perfection Paradox: The Dark Side of Perfection

from Get Unstuck Today · host Paul J Salter

Perfectionism. Type A. All-or-nothing. These collective personality traits - which are merely a group of stories, beliefs, and behaviors - were born to protect you. Yet, at some point, they crossed over from protective to counterproductive. In today's episode, we'll talk about how, when, and why the perfectionistic part of you came to be. We'll explore how it may have once helped you and how it's now hindering you. We'll also paint a clear picture of the dark side of perfectionism… Perfectionists struggle with procrastination, indecision, a need for control, flexibility, rumination, and an inability to see the bigger picture.  This leaves you stuck in the endless shame-perfectionism cycle. By the end of today's episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of how this part of you came to be and what you can do to make peace with it and let it go. Start listening now.  The 10-Day Unstuck Yourself Challenge is intended to help you understand where, why, and how you're stuck while also empowering you with the awareness, tools, and strategies essential to get unstuck so you can unlock your full potential.

They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit GKP - General Knowledge Podcast Lee Maddox Real News Australia and TOTTnews are independent alternative news sites based in Australia.
