What Is Perfectionism:

 

Perfectionism is the belief that if we live perfect, look perfect, and act perfect, we can minimize or avoid the pain of blame, judgment and shame.

Perfectionism, in psychology, is a personality trait characterized by a person’s striving for flawlessness and setting excessively high-performance standards, accompanied by overly critical self-evaluations and concerns regarding others’ evaluations. It is best conceptualized as a multidimensional characteristic, as psychologists agree that there are many positive and negative aspects.

Dangers Of Perfectionism:

 

Perfectionism is not always about healthy achievement and growth. Perfectionism is other focused – What will they (my parents, peers, colleges) think?

Whereas, healthy striving is self-focused – How can I improve, what can I do better? – Are the questions we tend to ask ourselves.

One of the biggest reasons why humans procrastinate is because we fear criticism, failure, and our own perfectionism. We wait until things are smooth and meet our expectations before we take the next step towards our goals. But anyone who’s alive and breathing knows that hiccups and chaos is part of life. We must continue to strive forward with what we have.

Also, when we try to be perfect, we cannot be present. The weight of our expectations tends to shift us from the present moment to constantly fret about what and how we can improve. Try to be sometimes instead of constantly doing. Everything will be OK in the end. Just enjoy what is.

COURAGE - A Pillar of FutureSTRONG Academy

 

Our children will one day face the real world without our support. Academic development is not the only skill they will need in the real world where people skills like taking the lead, emotional intelligence and a strong moral compass will determine who will shine. So, as parents who want to raise well rounded adults, we want to give them the right tools for their personal development.

Here is COURAGE as described as the 6 C’s of Future STRONG.
