Perfectionism isn’t about striving for excellence—it’s about the fear of not being good enough. I remember a friend from university who worked tirelessly. She would spend countless hours studying, obsessing over every tiny detail, but somehow, she always scored lower than me. I, on the other hand, took a more relaxed approach. I didn’t stress over a single mark and simply studied enough to finish the exam. This wasn’t just about exams, though. In other areas of my life, I still battled with perfectionism. But over time, I shifted my mindset and learned how to achieve more by doing less. In this blog, I’ll show you how I took the strategies I used in exams and applied them to everyday life to overcome perfectionism. By letting go of the need for perfection, I learned to achieve greater success and peace of mind. Let’s dive into how you can overcome perfectionism too!
