Learn to let go of perfectionism from "summary" of Dare by Barry McDonagh
Perfectionism is a burden that many of us carry around. We strive for flawlessness in everything we do, whether it's at work, in our relationships, or in our personal endeavors. We set impossibly high standards for ourselves and beat ourselves up when we fall short. But the truth is, perfectionism is an unattainable goal. No matter how hard we try, we will never be perfect. And that's okay. Learning to let go of perfectionism is a crucial step in overcoming anxiety. When we constantly strive for perfection, we set ourselves up for disappointment and failure. We become paralyzed by the fear of not being good enough, which only serves to increase our anxiety. By accepting that we are not perfect and that it's okay to make mistakes, we free ourselves from the shackles of perfectionism. It's important to remember that making mistakes is a natural part of being human. No one is perfect, and that's what makes us unique and special. Embracing our imperfections allows us to grow and learn from our experiences. It gives us the freedom to take risks and try new things without the fear of failure holding us back. When we let go of perfectionism, we are able to approach challenges with a sense of openness and curiosity. We become more resilient in the face of adversity because we know that setbacks are just a part of life. We learn to be kinder to ourselves and others, recognizing that no one is perfect and that's perfectly okay. So, the next time you find yourself striving for perfection, take a step back and remind yourself that it's okay to be imperfect. Embrace your flaws and imperfections, and see them as opportunities for growth and self-discovery. By letting go of perfectionism, you can free yourself from unnecessary anxiety and live a more fulfilling and authentic life.
