The Courage to Risk Imperfection
By Damodar Roe
-
Perfectionism is the effort to avoid judgement by trying to seem flawless in the eyes of others. It’s not just about hard work, perseverance, and achieving results. Perfectionism is a way we try to compensate for insecurity and fears. It thrives on unrealistic and unhealthy thinking, and it makes you feel overwhelmed with pressure, exhausted, and discouraged.
It can be hard to tell whether your efforts have an element of perfectionism in them or not. That's because, unfortunately, perfectionism is more than norm than the exception in modern society. It’s not really an individual problem with your habits, but a popular culture that we adapt to — often unconsciously. If you ever struggle with setting realistic goals, celebrating your wins, or being kind to yourself, this course is for you.
