Perfectionism & Anxiety
Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be your best. Perfectionism is not about healthy achievement and growth. 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. Perfection is a shield. Perfectionism is a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when, in fact, it is the thing that is
really preventing us from taking flight. Perfectionism at its worst can lead us to anxiety and even depression as we take upon ourselves the exhausting journey of being perfect when perfection is so rarely attainable. Perfectionism is not self-improvement. Perfectionism is, at its core, about trying to earn approval and acceptance. Most perfectionists were raised
being praised for achievement and performance (grades, manners, rule-following, people-pleasing, appearance, sports). Somewhere along the way, we adopt this dangerous and debilitating belief system: I am what I accomplish and how well I accomplish it. I. Must.
Perform. Perfect. Too often, anxiety disorders can be the result as worrisome, anxious thoughts repeatedly invade our brains when we do not live up to the impossible
standards of perfectionism. Perfectionism is other-focused—What will they think? Healthy striving is self-focused – How can I improve? With which do you identify? -excerpt from
