Preventing perfectionism
Going through life as a
perfectionist will always
damage your self-esteem
and strip you of any warm
feelings of self-
acceptance you may have
for yourself .
That 's because the
impossibly high demands
you make of yourself--and
the unrealistic
expectations you place on
others--will invite only
disappointment , self-
repudiation , and
widespread unhappiness .
HOW TO
PREVENT
PERFECTIONISM?
Failure should be
considered a
teacher and
everyone should
try to learn from
it .
Accept that
failure is part of
the process
Let out your
frustration
Be brutally
honest
Fail forward
HOW TO ACCEPT
FAILURE?
Set realistic goals for you.
Look for the positives in
yourself and your life.
Love yourself in your
entirety, including your
imperfections.
Embrace your uniqueness.
Stop procrastinating.
Think of mistakes as
lessons.
