Are you a perfectionist?
Be honest.
Do you actually like being one?
Because on the outside it looks admirable.
But underneath?
Perfectionism often says:
“If I perform well, then I’m worthy.”
“If I achieve, then I’m lovable.”
“If I do it right, then I’m enough.”
The problem isn’t excellence.
It’s attaching your worth to it.
That’s where the shame comes in.
That’s where the self-criticism lives.
That’s where exhaustion begins.
You don’t have to perform to be enough.
