“Perfectionism ” _ The silent barrier to your success.

On and off , we keep tangling with our thoughts to achieve perfectionism in our daily routine tasks .

The fear of confronting errors looms large in our mind and throws us in the trap of perfection . And with all of this comes the title ‘Perfectionista’.

Most of us keep chasing for the ultimate precision without knowing the fact how it is holding us back and draining our energy.

The Dark Side of Perfectionism

This never ending urge of thriving for more and more precision opens the room of self doubt .

You never get satisfied with your work . And gradually you start losing confidence . This is not the only side effect of perfectionism. It affects your personal relationships , resulting in more and more discomfort.

Denial and self rejection go side by side . You try your best not to respond but end up being fragile.

The perfectionist writer

I can understand this pain when you go through a bulk of disappointment with your own work .

You are not the only writer who has gone through this , so don’t worry.

Soon you will shift from being a perfectionist to a confident writer .

Honest Talk

There is always some little flaw in your personality that makes you attractive .

Take a deep breath , and let go of this so-called perfectionism . Accept yourself , no one is born perfect .

It’s not always You Vs You . There is a great difference between self improvement and self perfectionism . Maybe you have come so far while pushing yourself that you didn’t even notice when you got trapped by your obsession for being 100% accurate .

A short personal advice

At one time in my life , I’ve also gone through this hell of self sabotage . Here is a short piece of advice from my own personal experience.

No one is born perfect . Be consistent in your work and carry your flaws with all the confidence you have . Believe in yourself and glow .

Grateful for your time spent here. Keep an eye out for upcoming content!
