Breaking Free from Toxic Perfectionism

Send us a text

In this re run of one of our most popular episodes we explore how perfectionism can be dangerous, stopping us in our tracks and preventing us from living fully and joyfully despite its association with excellence.

• Perfectionism is a rising problem fueled by social media and comparison culture
• The "all or nothing" mentality prevents people from taking action or trying new things
• Perfectionism can lead to "analysis paralysis" where overthinking prevents progress
• Perfectionists often miss opportunities waiting for the "perfect moment" that never comes
• Waiting for perfect conditions can negatively impact health, relationships, and life experiences
• Social media creates unrealistic standards that make perfectionism worse
• Embracing imperfection creates space for meaningful memories and connections
• Finding beauty in imperfection mirrors nature, where "weeds" can actually be beautiful flowers
• Flexibility in thinking helps overcome toxic perfectionist tendencies
• Perfectionism affects not just the individual but everyone around them
