Ep. 58 - How To Shift From Toxic Perfectionism to Healthy Striving
Jun 27, 2022 Season 1 Episode 58

Perfectionism is a growing epidemic. Studies among North American teens show that 3 in 10 exhibit some sort of unhealthy perfectionism. It is also life-endangering—those with higher scores on perfectionism are more likely to die younger.

Perfection is an impossible goal—you only set yourself up for failure and suffering. That’s the paradox of perfectionism. The more you try to win someone else’s validation, the worse you become.

Experts have found that perfectionism is more than an attitude or excess attention to detail—it has become a way of life that creates and amplifies mental issues. It’s a clear signal that we have a problematic relationship with our sense of self.

Affirmation: ….I seek progress over perfection and community over competition.

Oracle Card Reading: 

  1. Expect a Miracle: Have faith that your prayers have been heard and are being answered. 
  2. Blossoming: You are just getting started, so have patience with yourself and the process, and the process, and do not give up. 
  3. Home: Your household situation is improving, either through a move or a healthy change in the occupants.
