If you define yourself as a perfectionist, you can not consider perfectionism a problem. And even consider it as an advantage. However, the desire for unrealistic standards and determining their own significance based on compliance with them most often lead to anxiety, stress, emotional burnout and dissatisfaction. How to distinguish useful perfectionism from harmful and stop presenting excessively high requirements to yourself and others?
In the book Anxious Perfectionist, psychologists of Clarissa Ong and Michael Tuhig shed light on the hidden costs of the desire to be the best. And they offer exercises based on the treatment of acceptance and responsibility (ACT) to help you cope with the anxiety caused by perfectionism. You will learn how the need for perfection can reduce your productivity and interfere with the achievement of goals. Learn to interrupt a negative internal dialogue. Get rid of such useless and limiting shortcuts as “success” or “failure”. Give yourself and others permission to make mistakes. And all this - keeping faith in oneself and their high aspirations!
