Antidotes to Perfectionism
- Perfectionism can be like an internal drill sergeant who is constantly yelling at you.
- Procrastination and perfectionism are often intimately linked. You're worried you won't do a task well, or will struggle with it, so you avoid it.
- Self-compassion and talking to yourself with kindness are much more likely to get you back on track than continuing to let the drill sergeant berate you.
- Try saying something to yourself like: Hey, this is hard right now, but it's normal to struggle with getting started on big things. You've got this.
