As a recovered perfectionist, I recognize this idol in my athletes. Funny thing is, in 27 years as a sports psychotherapist, not one person has asked if I got straight A’s in grad school. No one cares.

Yes grades matter. Yes performance matters. Yes results matter. But… not if you turn into an angry, depressed, stressed out person.

🚩 Is perfection an idol? Do you care so much about being and achieving perfection that it is hurting you? Hurting the relationships you have? Is it actually damaging your body? ➡️ Perfection leads to excellence. We can keep that. It helps us stay resilient. This means we have to be okay making mistakes and failing. It is how we learn. 🚩But the dark side of perfectionism is the waste of emotional energy. It leads to anger, anxiety, and stress. It usually damages relationships in this hyper-emotion. No one wants to be around this reactive emotional state. 🚩 Stress response to perfectionism also damages performance. It impacts motor skills, response time, and visual focus. ➡️ Learn your unique Braincode and your individual stress indicators and counters at www.braincodecorp.com 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 #sportspsychology #lifeskills #highperformancehabits #neurosport #growthmindset
