- Are you striving to do things better without feeling better?
- Do you get lost in perfecting the details and miss the overall deadlines, stay up all night to finish or delay bringing projects to market?
- Did you grow up feeling like you had to prove yourself to be loveable?
- Are you a workaholic, or, conversely avoid working because you’re afraid of your perfectionism?
Perfectionism can be experienced as an endless pressure to “get it right” – our nervous system’s response to past traumatic events and the belief that we are not good enough. Perfectionism triggers our need for control and puts us on a treadmill to prove that we are finally worthy of success or love or money. Perfectionism kills your joy by being a slave driver in a world where nothing is ever good enough. Working harder is a way to punish yourself for not being good enough, so you can’t ever relax and just be you.
In this video, Clare will guide you to consider the root cause of perfectionism so that you can get off the treadmill, affirm your worth, acknowledge your vulnerability and relieve the distortions that keep you enslaved to an empty standard.
