How to overcome

at work

“Perfectionism is a dream killer, because it’s just fear

disguised as trying to do your best.”

“There’s no need to be perfect to inspire others.

Let’s people get inspired by how you deal with your

imperfections.”

YOUR TRIGGERS

The very first tip on how to

overcome perfectionism is to identify why you try to

be perfect.

Some people believe that

being perfect is

respectful and

admirable

The fact is that no one can be perfect.

Trying to become perfect is one way to put yourself under pressure and get stressed.

“Perfectionism is self-abuse of the highest order.”

“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor.”

HOPE & REALITY

Perfectionists often have

big targets which are not easy to be met.

If you want to overcome perfectionism, you

should reconsider your expectations, and balance

them with reality.

Accept your limit, as well as, other people’s limit.

“If you align expectations with reality, you will never be disappointed.”

A BIG PICTURE

Do not spend too much time concerning about “the

very little things”.

Ask yourself the questions like:

GRATITUDE

You should know that someone else is happy with less than what you have.

Look around, and you

will see that you are still happier than many other people.

You have a house or an apartment to live in.

You have a job and can do what you want.

No matter what happens to you, you still have an opportunity to change it and learn from it.

Therefore, you should

always show your gratitude to life and other people

around you

“A moment of gratitude makes a difference in your attitude.”

FORGIVE

“Forgiveness does not change the past,

but it does enlarge the future.”

Forgiveness helps

release your bad emotions and negative thoughts

If someone makes mistakes, you

should not be angry with him for too long.

What you should do is to tell that person how to avoid the mistakes, and then completely forget his fault.

& LET GO

You should learn to trust others enough to

delegate works to them.

If those people cannot fulfill a task,

teach them how, and give them a helping handrather than taking over the work

entirely.

COMPARE

Do not compare yourself with others as comparison fuels perfectionism

Each person has strong and weak points

that you may not know well.

“Don’t compare yourself to others. That’s a battle you

can never win.”
