Navigating Perfectionism

​Perfectionism can look different for different people.  A few key aspects include:
  • the irrational belief that you and/or your environment must be perfect
  • striving to be the best and expecting the best from others
  • a deep belief that mistakes are unacceptable
  • always being alert to the imperfections, faults, and weaknesses in yourself and others
  • fear of failure and rejection
Did you know that a common aspect of perfectionism is procrastination?  The two often go hand-in-hand.
​Some of the negative consequences of perfectionism include:
Low self-esteem. Someone struggling with perfectionism never feels "good enough'' about their personal performance, so feelings of being a "failure" or a "loser" can  contribute to low self-confidence and self-worth​

Guilt: Because perfectionism causes a person to never feel good about the way they are handling life, they may experience a sense of guilt or shame.

Pessimism. Since perfectionism has convinced you that it will be extremely difficult to achieve an "ideal goal", you may easily become discouraged and give up easily

Lack of motivation. Believing that the goal of "change'' will never be able to be ideally or perfectly achieved can often cause a lack of motivation to attempt change in the first place, or to continue on if change has already begun.
How Coaching can Help:
  • develop a new mindset that embraces the full range of human emotions and experience
  • set realistic goals, balanced with healthy self-care
  • recognize that perfectionism is not who you are; rather it is a habit you have developed
  • learn ways to work through critical self-talk
  • develop the ability to identify thinking traps that are keeping you stuck
  • build self-compassion and mindfulness into your everyday life​
 ​Coaching provides support and guidance around overcoming perfectionism and developing healthy coping strategies.  ​​​

Bobbi Beuree,
​Coach + Facilitator

Navigating some significant challenges in my life took me to a deep place where I could learn more about myself, life, and the people and world around me.  I'm so grateful that, through coaching, I get to share what I've learned with others, while helping them to make sense of their own life experience.

Like so many others, I know what it's like to feel anxious, and hopeless, lost and defeated.  And I also know what it's like to feel energized, excited, and inspired! I've come to know on a deep level that the latter is our true nature.  But it it is often covered up by our limiting beliefs, destructive thinking patterns, unconscious emotional reactions, habits, and more.

I've spent the last 15 years working with people, helping them to grow in self-awareness, uncover their full potential, and  create lives that are full, engaged, and meaningful.  It is always so rewarding to watch clients reach powerful new insights around what they are capable of!
