In addiction recovery programs, professionals say the first step is acknowledging you have a problem. For perfectionists it’s more about realizing what we have unwittingly done to ourselves and others while living inside the paradox.
Only when we admit the cause of our addiction, the results we have realized, and the ways we have covered for our self-perceived shortcomings, can the struggle of undoing begin.
Learning how to change your mindset, overcome procrastination and analysis paralysis, and create new habits, allows you to progress from perfect, to good enough.
Lessons in this module cover the things you need to address to escape to excellence, including acceptance of your addiction and giving yourself grace, your mindset and habits, embracing imperfection and failure, and understanding the difference between excellence and perfection.
