As a driven professional you’ve achieved what others only dream of. But success comes at a price… perfectionism that’s never satisfied, a marriage strained by long hours and stress, work-life balance that feels like a distance myth, and complicated relationships with family and yourself.
You’re not alone. Many accomplished individuals like you- CEOs, doctors, lawyers, first responders, and more- face these challenges. It’s time to apply your determination to your personal well-being.
Perfectionism isn’t just about high standards- it’s a complex pattern of thought and behaviors that can significantly impact your professional and personal life. At the very least you can understand that you didn’t just wake up one day deciding to be a perfectionist.
For those that lean anxious, perfectionism often looks like: difficulty delegating tasks, procrastination due to fear of imperfect outcomes, overworking to meet unrealistic standards, all- or - nothing thinking, increased stress, projected frustrations (yes, it may show up as anger), or intense self criticism and feelings of inadequacy. Sound familiar? It is a vicious cycle.
