One of the most common and destructive habits I have encountered is perfectionism. He pulls you back and won't let you grow. It keeps you from trying to do anything, because you feel that everything has to be perfect. And it's tearing your self-esteem apart.

What can be done with this?

In today's article I would like to share with you 3 effective ways in which you can get rid of perfectionism and replace this habit with something better.

1. Go to a good enough level

Striving for perfection can lead to the fact that you will never finish your project. So you should enjoy the level that is close to perfection. Do not use this tool as a "excuse", just understand that there is a so-called well enough, if you have reached it-then you're done.

Good enough in this case means that you have done a fairly good job on a certain task. There are many things that you have to do in a week, it will help you to use your limited time and strength in a reasonable way.

2. Reminder: focusing on perfection will hurt you and your life

When you watch too many movies, you listen to too many songs and accept everything the world tells you, which in turn is a direct path to self-deception and belief in perfectionism.

Everything sounds so good and perfect that you want to reach it. But in real life, perfectionism is in conflict with reality and it usually hurts you and the people around you. This way can cause harm, and destroy your relationship, work, and only because your expectations " not from this world. "

I remember this every time you want to reach him, realize it could harm me. It makes it easier for me to focus my thinking, to avoid unnecessary excitement.

3. Set your own bar and surround yourself with human standards

You should not allow others to define the bar of your capabilities , you need to define it yourself and set it on a universal level.

We all experience setbacks. We all have problems when we try to achieve the goal. This is normal, and familiar to humans. DON't take into account the bar that someone set for you. In most cases, they are installed out of kindness, or to maximize profits.

Set your own bar at the level you are most, you should not achieve superhuman results in order to be satisfied. The best way to achieve this result is to reduce the viewing of the media, because they make you feel worse when you promote to live in accordance with ideal standards.

You should replace the media with magazines, blogs, books, etc.which are filled with optimism and motivation, because they are the source of more realistic expectations and standards. Spend more time with good people who want something in life.

This is your life and you decide how to dispose of it. If you want to be happy and successful, then you should surround yourself with your own standards that will help you do good and improve your life.
