This is one for the perfectionists. Those of us with high standards, who want everything to be the best it can possibly be and push ourselves as hard as we can to make it happen. Perfectionism is unattainable though. Constantly going after it just adds unnecessary pressure to our lives so we’re sharing some of the ways we’ve started to let go of our perfectionism while still achieving our goals.

We’re back, it’s January and that means one thing, it’s time to set some goals. But after what can only be described as the craziest of years we’re taking a slightly different approach in 2021. This year they’re all more holistic, they’re focused on more than just hitting a certain number in the gym or reading an arbitrary number of books, instead we’ve looked back on the past year and thought hard about not just what we want to achieve but also how we want to do it.

This fortnight we’re discussing guilt trips and forgiving yourself for your past mistakes. As perfectionists this isn’t always something we find easy but is something we’ve been working on and it’s a vital part of the growth process. We’re sharing the ways we’re trying to give ourselves a break and move on from mistakes in a more constructive way (spoiler, beating yourself up for days and weeks on end is not it.)
