Letting go of Perfectionism
Perfectionism is
what everyone strives to have in their everyday lives. It is a struggle to be
perfect and to be likeable. Also, it is harmful due to anxiety, panic attacks,
and the fear of having everything in perfection. Perfectionism should not be a
motivation to fulfill accomplishments. The strong desire for perfectionism
changes a person’s attitude, personality, and their actions.
Therefore, it is an
obsession that one must let go to live with less anxiety. Perfectionism causes
more anxiety and may lead to a panic disorder. Paying attention to every detail
and making everything look right puts too much pressure on yourself. Focusing,
planning, and correcting every mistake is exhausting and it makes you feel unfulfilled.
In the end, everything will feel meaningless, unpleasant, and repulsive.
There are many
things that a person desires to have in a perfect stage such as a job,
relationships, marriage, parties, and a perfect family. However, there are
other things that make you long for perfection until you feel miserable when it
is not right. Letting go of perfectionism makes you enjoy life to the fullest
and not expect everything to be correct. To let go of perfectionism one must be
able to use their abilities without getting the approval of others and learn
from your mistakes. Do not feel like a failure all the time.
Additionally, do
not feel like you are letting others down for your imperfections and failings.
Life and everything else are not perfect. Instead, appreciate, accept, and
change your habits. Celebrate your achievements no matter what and how they
happen. Forgive yourself, be truthful, and improve your self-confidence.
Enjoy life events
without trying to make everything to have perfection. Do not have expectations
for everything to be right. Seek professional counseling, therapy, and behavioral
services to decrease perfectionism. If you have an obsessive-compulsive
disorder, anxiety disorder, or obsession for trying to be a perfectionist;
Speak to your medical professional for advice on how to manage it. Here are
websites about perfectionism.
