The Hidden Cost of Perfectionism
While striving for excellence can lead to achievements, perfectionism often imposes unattainable standards. It can manifest as:
- Chronic Stress: Constant pressure to perform flawlessly.
- Relationship Strain: Unrealistic expectations on yourself and others.
- Fear of Failure: Hesitation to take risks or embrace vulnerability.

- Practice Self-Compassion: Replace harsh self-criticism with understanding and kindness.
- Set Realistic Goals: Focus on progress rather than perfection.
- Embrace Vulnerability: Recognize that imperfections make you human and relatable.
