Getting rid of perfectionism

[@mahlliebeck6707]

Thank you for sharing your experience with perfectionism, that’s probably my biggest block in my life right now. Let’s celebrate our wins, for real this time 😂❤ Artist to Artist

i’m on a similar journey with learning to celebrate myself. one way i try to make it routine is to give myself opportunities to celebrate based on different scales of time. so on a monthly basis, the date of my bday is a day i use to focus on celebration, same for the day of the week i was born. i notice it helps me not depend on finishing something as the trigger for celebrating, and it’s even helped me plan things i feel stuck on bc i’ll be like “i want to celebrate having done this before my monthly/weekly ‘bday'.” it’s still an experiment for me, and i’m liking it so far.

i relate so much wow. i constantly criticise myself, look for validation from outside and have trouble genuinely celebrating my wins on my own its so exhausting lmao. love ur videos and voice tho theyre so calming, could listen to u talk for hours!! thank u for sharing and being so open♥

Yeah it’s so exhausting, that’s why I just realised something had to change. Thank you so much for the support, I’m happy that you enjoy my videos :)

this is so relatable! thank you for sharing your experiences with perfectionism, hearing your thoughts really helps me to put things into perspective.

[@onyinyea]

I’m really happy to hear that, sometimes you need to hear other people talking about things to recognise them in yourself

[@frogspawnofsatan]

@onyinyea yeah definitely! your videos are so thought provoking (and i'm always inspired by your knitting!!)

I'm so sorry your perfectionism got in the way of so much, but especially your mourning!! I'm sure this'll be the start of a healthier relationship with motivation, in the meantime I hope you can find it in you to be kind to yourself today

Havent watched yet but your video topics are just so incredibly on point and the los pollos hermanos shirt made me wanna scream i was debating watching this or continuing my BB rewatch Okay finished watching, I know my perfectionism is completely debilitating me but I feel like I don't have the distress tolerance to practice not chasing perfection. I have really bad anxiety but I feel like my concerns are always somewhat valid, maybe my thought that I'd get fired if I wasn't perfect wasn't true but the risk of me becoming homeless and dying alone feels super possible in late stage capitalism America as someone who's estranged from all my family and has very few friends. I have cptsd and am trying to build community to help realistically protect against that but it's hard for a lot of reasons. I like that your advice was not just to let go of it entirely but to start with things like celebrating yourself and trying to let yourself rest and embrace progress. Those things are still distressing to me though. Sometimes unbearably so. But yeah my perfectionism keeps burning me out and wrecking my mental health. It's like the biggest problem I have. It "helped" in so many ways in my life but now is really making things hard
