    How to let go of perfectionism (Episode 217 quick tips)

    enFebruary 04, 2024

    Podcast Summary

    • Embracing Imperfection in the KitchenPerfectionism can negatively impact mental health and overall well-being. Let go of the pursuit of perfection and focus on the journey and achievements, no matter how imperfect they may be.

      Striving for perfection can negatively impact mental health and overall well-being. Perfectionism is an unattainable goal that can lead to endless frustration, anxiety, stress, and self-criticism. Instead, it's important to let go of the pursuit of perfection and focus on the journey and achievements, no matter how imperfect they may be. Shopping at Kroger can provide mealtime inspiration and savings, while also allowing for imperfect moments in the kitchen. Remember, perfection doesn't exist, and embracing this fact can lead to a happier, less stressed life. So next time you're in the kitchen or the grocery store, give yourself permission to let go of perfectionism and enjoy the process.

    • Embracing Imperfection: 5 Practical Tips to Overcome PerfectionismEmbrace imperfection, challenge perfectionist thoughts, limit comparisons, set realistic goals, and practice self-compassion to find greater peace of mind and overcome perfectionism.

      Embracing imperfection and practicing self-compassion are key to overcoming perfectionism and finding greater peace of mind in life. Here are five practical tips: 1. Embrace imperfection: Acknowledge that imperfection is natural and makes us human. Focus on what's present and celebrate small victories. 2. Challenge perfectionist thoughts: Question the realism of perfectionist thoughts and look for a more balanced perspective. 3. Limit the comparison game: Comparing yourself to others fuels perfectionism and can be unnecessary and torturous. Focus on your own journey and celebrate your successes and others' without comparison. 4. Set realistic goals: Aim for achievable and measurable goals that stretch you, but are realistic and won't lead to unnecessary pressure. 5. Practice self-compassion: Be kind to yourself and understand that making mistakes is part of learning and growing. Speak to yourself with understanding and kindness. These practices help shift the focus from what's missing to what's present, reduce the power of perfectionist thoughts, and build resilience and a healthier self-image. It's important to remember that letting go of perfectionism isn't about lowering standards or giving up on excellence, but rather finding a healthier, more balanced approach to life and achievements.

    • Embracing imperfection for greater joy and contentmentEmbrace the unexpected and imperfect aspects of life for more joy and contentment. Take steps towards a relaxed mindset and check out the Let's Talk About Mental Health podcast for more tips on overcoming perfectionism.

      Embracing the unique, unexpected, and imperfect aspects of life can lead to greater joy and contentment. It's important to take steps towards a more relaxed mindset, and remember that you have the ability to do so. The video's creator encourages viewers to give it a like and check out the Let's Talk About Mental Health podcast for more tips on overcoming perfectionism and other mental health topics.

    234: Pride and LGBTQ Mental Health

    What is pride? Why is LGBTQ pride important? And what are the links between pride and mental health? 

    Whether you identify as LGBTQIA+ or as straight, understanding why pride matters and how pride affects mental health for members of the LGBTQ+ community can help you better connect with yourself and/or the people you care about who identify as anything other than straight.

    Pride and LGBT mental health are interwoven, because it’s about learning to accept your identity and celebrating it both individually and collectively, especially with events like pride month, helping to improve LGBTQ mental health by promoting visibility and solidarity.

    This week, we look into the intricacies of perfectionism and examine the reasons why it is so common among lawyers, especially ones who are already self-critical. I explain where perfectionism comes from, how it affects all areas of our life, and why it never works. I also share my coaching strategies for overcoming it and starting to be able to accept yourself where you are.

    Ep. 178: Ways to Break the Cycle of Perfectionism with Menije Boduryan

    ways to break the cycle of perfectionism with Menije Boduryan

    Welcome back to another episode of Your Anxiety Toolkit Podcast. Today we have on an amazing guest and therapist, Menije Boduryan. Menije is an OCD specialist as well as a specialist on perfectionism. She is here today to talk to us about perfectionism and to give us some tips on how to manage perfectionism in our own lives.

    Menije defines perfectionism as a drive to do things perfectly with anything less than 100% being unacceptable.  It is a desire to want everything to be flawless and in that desire, comes a lot of expectations or rules that people set for themselves.  She explains that perfectionism becomes a mindset and you begin to operate in the world expecting yourself to be perfect, as well as your partner, your best friend, your clothes, your work desk, what you eat, and how you exercise to all be perfect. It becomes powerful because our self-identity becomes so attached to this idea of being perfect. It is not just about the desire to do things perfectly, but it also becomes a belief that once you do things perfectly, then you are enough, you are worthy.

    Menije shares with us a bit about her own struggles with perfectionism and how perfectionism impacts our relationships. She describes how it is really possible to fall into a cycle with perfectionism. If you fall short in something you are doing, which you inevitably will, you start into the cycle of feeling shame and that you are not good enough so you then strive to work harder the next time to achieve that level of perfection.

    Menije shares with us one of the best ways to break out of that cycle of perfectionism is really to just give ourselves a tremendous amount of self-compassion. Recognizing that whatever happens today, I am worthy and I am enough. She also describes that breaking out of the cycle involves being able to tolerate your imperfections. Really being able to sit with the discomfort and anxiety that will come when you have done something that is not perfect. She describes it as very similar to exposure therapy.

    This interview is full of so many amazing insights. I hope you will find it as helpful and as meaningful as I did.

    Let's Talk About... Perfectionism (Episode 98)

    Perfectionism might seem like a great idea in theory (who doesn’t want to be the best at things and always deliver 100%?) however in practice it’s impossible to achieve, because nothing and nobody is perfect… so that means that perfectionist tendencies can lead to a lot of self-inflicted challenges that can have a negative impact on your wellbeing. This week I’m talking about how to manage perfectionism in a healthy way. So, let’s talk about mental health!

    Thomas Curran: Perfectionism: The Power Of Good Enough In A World That Always Wants More

    When did ''good enough'' become the same as ''perfect''? Why does society increasingly promote ideals that are hard to achieve? And what does perfectionism mean?

    Thomas Curran is a Professor at the London School of Economics. He is the world-leading expert on perfectionism. In 2023 he published his debut book, ‘The Perfection Trap.’ We will discuss his interesting book and much more!

    7 Tips For Dealing with Rude People

    7 Tips For Dealing with Rude People

    Rudeness is contagious, in a similar way to a virus. When experiencing a rude encounter, our brain perceives it like a threat. And once we’ve tuned in to this low-level threat, we’re more likely to notice it around us, and are therefore more likely to display rude behavior ourselves.

    Today we’re talking about rudeness and its impact on our wellness. We’ll walk you through what rude behavior actually is, what our evolutionary response to it is, and how we can take steps to mitigate its negative effects.

    By the end of today’s episode you’ll be armed with 7 tools to be less impacted by micro-aggressions when you encounter them, break the rudeness cycle, and start spreading kindness in your world.

    Rudeness is a low-intensity display of disrespect or incivility. It’s often ambiguous & malice isn’t necessarily intended. Our brains interpret rudeness as a form of micro-aggression and react accordingly. When someone acts with aggression it’s typically a response behavior, but rudeness sometimes comes out of nowhere, so it’s disconnected from our usual explanation of where negative behaviors come from. Rudeness is bad for our health & well-being. 

    ** Bonus tool: Smile.

    A smile can go a long way to counteracting rudeness. Remind yourself that even the kindest people have hard days, instead of internalizing it or taking it personally. To help dismiss random rude behavior you encounter or witness, assume the person is particularly rushed, stressed, tired, hungry, or whatever is going on for that person that has nothing to do with you.

    Listen now to learn how to protect yourself from rude behavior.
