What does it actually mean? What does it look like, feel like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The truth is <strong>we can\u2019t really answer this question because what is perfect for one person won\u2019t be for another<\/strong>. And vice versa! And yet we can spend hours, days, weeks trying to perfect ourselves or something related to us \u2013 our work, our relationship, our health from this illusion that it NEEDS to be perfect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The harsh reality is \u2013perfect doesn\u2019t exist \u2013 it is just an illusion. An impossible outcome that amounts to nothing but disappointment, upset and limitation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Often when we strive to make things perfect we end up missing out on so much and rarely achieve the things we want to achieve because we spend so much time waiting!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Waiting for the right time<\/li>\n<li>Waiting for the right idea<\/li>\n<li>Waiting for the right opportunity<\/li>\n<li>Waiting for the right man\/women<\/li>\n<li>Waiting for the right promotion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But all waiting does is cause you to play small. To limit yourself \u2013 your growth, your experience and your results.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s when you take action and make mistakes that you get the chance to learn new things about yourself. To grow, expand and to push ourselves beyond your usual limits!<\/p>\n<p><strong>So how do you know whether you are a perfectionist? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perfectionists are a lot like high achievers, but with some key differences.<\/p>\n<p>The following are 10 common traits of perfectionists, that you may be able to spot in yourself or in the people you know.<\/p>\n<p>Do any of these sound familiar?<\/p>\n<p><strong>All-or-Nothing Thinking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perfectionists, like high achievers, tend to set high goals and work hard toward them. However, a high achiever can be satisfied with doing a great job and achieving excellence (or something close), even if their very high goals aren\u2019t completely met.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Perfectionists however will accept nothing less than perfection. &#8220;Almost perfect&#8221; is seen as failure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Highly Critical<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Perfectionists are more critical of themselves and others. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While high achievers take pride in their achievements and tend to be supportive of others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Perfectionists tend to spot mistakes and imperfections.<\/strong> They hone in on imperfections and have trouble seeing anything else. They\u2019re more judgmental and hard on themselves and on others when &#8220;failure&#8221; does occur.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pushed by Fear<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>High achievers tend to be\u00a0<em>pulled<\/em>\u00a0toward their goals and by a desire to achieve them. They are happy with any steps made in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Perfectionists, on the other hand, tend to be\u00a0<em>pushed<\/em>\u00a0toward their goals by a fear of\u00a0<em>not<\/em>\u00a0reaching them\u00a0and see anything less than a perfectly met goal as a failure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Unrealistic Standards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, a perfectionist\u2019s goals aren\u2019t always even reasonable. While high achievers can set their goals high, perhaps enjoying the fun of going a little further once goals are reached, <strong>perfectionists often set their initial goals out of reach and often forget to make it fun!.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Focussed on Results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>High achievers can enjoy the process of chasing a goal as much or more than the actual reaching of the goal itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Perfectionists however see the goal and nothing else. They\u2019re so concerned about meeting the goal and avoiding the dreaded failure that they can\u2019t enjoy the process of growing and striving<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Depressed by Unmet Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Perfectionists are much less happy and easy going than high achievers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>While high achievers are able to bounce back fairly easily from disappointment &#8211; <strong>perfectionists tend to beat themselves up much more and wallow in negative feelings when their high expectations go unmet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fear of Failure<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Perfectionists are also much\u00a0more afraid to fail<\/strong>\u00a0than are high achievers. Because they place so much stock in results and become so disappointed by anything less than perfection, failure becomes a very scary prospect.<\/p>\n<p>And, since anything less than perfection is seen as failure, <strong>perfectionists sometimes put off things until the last minute.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Procrastination<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Perfectionism and procrastination do tend to go hand in hand<\/strong>. This is because, fearing failure as they do, perfectionists will sometimes worry so much about doing something wrong or imperfectly that they choose to hold back and wait!!!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Defensiveness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Because a less-than-perfect performance is so painful and scary to perfectionists, they tend to take constructive criticism defensively,<\/strong> while high achievers can see criticism as valuable feedback to help their future performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Low Self-Esteem<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Perfectionists tend to be very self-critical and unhappy and suffer from\u00a0low self esteem.<\/strong> They can also be lonely or isolated\u00a0as their critical nature and rigidity can push others away as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lets be honest, we have all acted in this way at some point in our lives<\/strong>. You are not alone. <strong>There is a perfectionist in all of us BUT it is how you deal with it that is different. How you CHOOSE to let it empower you. Impact you. That is the difference!!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reminding yourself that <strong>PERFECT doesn\u2019t exist<\/strong> is a sure fire way to move you away from perfectionism. You can\u2019t achieve something that doesn\u2019t exist <strong>SO STOP TRYING!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Recognising that <strong>\u201cdone is better than perfect\u201d<\/strong> will take the edge off. It will give you permission to take that step, to try and to take action. It is in the action that we learn \u2013 we find out what works and what doesn\u2019t \u2013 that\u2019s it! <strong>There is NO FAILURE in taking action. It is simply an opportunity to GET FEEDBACK!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Life is about learning. Evolving. Making mistakes. Falling down. Getting back up again. This is how we grow.<\/p>\n<p>There will always be people that judge you \u2013 whether you take action or not BUT <strong>when you focus on learning, evolving and doing the best you can &#8211; it allows you to push past that \u2013 to focus on your purpose, your goals and the support you have around you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is perfectionist controlling your life?
