Seems like we hit ANOTHER highly sensitive nerve with our last posting! For many the £1 Million question is where to be perfect and where not to be? Now, obviously I use the phrase ‘be perfect’ with tongue-in-cheek since we all here know that perfect is not attainable…we do all know that, right? Good…moving on….
Make yourself a list of areas or things in your life where you want to pursue your perfectionism. Yes, you heard it right…you are allowed to pursue your perfectionism! Look over your list and question your values around each point and then add-in the realism factor.
Can you achieve perfection on any given point, have you the time to do that, is that important to you? If you find a task that you still want to do ‘perfectly’, go for it. Just set your limits and know ahead of time what is ‘perfect’ to you. Make so called ‘perfect’ work for you not against you.
ONE GREAT TIP: Don’t let others convince you that it is wrong to have a fabulous trait, like striving for perfect! Own it, love it, redefine it, and work it!
