Signs perfectionism might be running the show 👇
⚡ You feel guilty resting.
⚡ You avoid trying new things unless you’re sure you’ll succeed.
⚡ You replay “mistakes” in your head long after they’re over.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. 🌿

This carousel will walk you through each sign—because Perfectionism has multiple parts!

Sometimes perfectionism manifests as replaying mistakes you've made, finding them unacceptable, and struggling to let go.

At other times, perfectionism manifests as a fear of trying new things, taking risks, and leaving your comfort zone because you are afraid the outcomes won't be perfect.

And last but not least, perfectionism prevents you from resting, relaxing, and prioritizing self-care. It makes you feel guilty to slow down, say no, and put your needs first.

Perfectionism often says: “Don’t celebrate—you could’ve done better.” As if celebrating less than perfect results would make you less motivated or mediocre.

But here’s the truth: every step forward matters. 🌱 You deserve to celebrate showing up and trying your best! Every effort matters!

If you only measure success by perfection, you’ll always feel like you’re falling short. But when you measure by progress, you start to see how far you’ve come.

This is just a gentle reminder to honor your growth—even if it’s imperfect. Because progress is worth celebrating. 🎉

💬 What’s one small win you can honor this week?

There is a vicious cycle to perfectionism ⬇️
1️⃣ Set impossibly high standards
2️⃣ Work tirelessly to meet them
3️⃣ Feel anxious or ashamed when it’s not “enough”
4️⃣ Repeat

Sound familiar? 🌪️

You think Perfectionism gets you closer to your goals, when in actuality, you find yourself going round and round, trying to please your unrealistically high expectations, only to find yourself never getting close to the finish line. The only thing that happens is your anxiety gets higher, and your self-esteem gets lower.

The good news: cycles can be broken.

Healing starts with awareness, compassion, and small shifts in how you speak to yourself. 🌿

💬 Which part of this cycle feels most real for you?

Hey High Functioning Perfectionist! Here is your reminder for the weekend:
Rest is not a reward for finishing your to-do list. 🌙
It’s a necessity for your mind, body, and soul.

Perfectionism will whisper, “You haven’t done enough yet" or "rest can wait."

The truth is, you have done enough and rest is not something worthy of delaying! It is something you need to prioritize. Because you are a better version of you when you get the rest you need!

💬 This weekend, what’s one way you can rest without guilt?

Do you ever feel like you’re living with an “inner critic” on full volume?
That voice that says:
❌ “You should be further along.”
❌ “You’re not good enough.”
❌ “If people knew the real you, they’d walk away.”

That voice is not truth—it’s perfectionism.

Here’s what is true:
🌸 You are allowed to take up space.
🌸 You are allowed to grow at your own pace.
🌸 You are worthy, even when you fall short.

Heading into the week, give yourself permission to lower the volume on the critic and raise the volume on compassion. 💜

💬 Share one compassionate thought you’re practicing today.

Perfectionism says: You are what you achieve!
So you must do more, be more, and have more!

Here is what you need to remember if you want to overcome your perfectionism:
🌟 You don’t have to hustle for your worth.

You already have it. 💜

💬 Double-tap if you needed this reminder today.

Perfectionism often shows up as control.
👉 The need to “get it right.”
👉 The fear of letting anyone see your mistakes.
👉 The pressure to keep everything together.

But control is an illusion. And the harder we grip, the more disconnected we feel.

This carousel is your reminder that loosening your grip can actually bring more peace, freedom, and authenticity. 🌱

💬 Which truth from this carousel do you need most today?

Burnout is not a badge of honor. 🚫🔥

Yet perfectionism convinces us that being exhausted means we’re “working hard enough.”

But exhaustion isn’t proof of worth. Rest is not laziness. Slowing down doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’re listening to your body. 🌙

Flip through this carousel for gentle truths about burnout and perfectionism.

💬 Which slide hits home for you the most?

Perfectionism often sounds like:
✨ “I’ll relax when everything’s done.”
✨ “I’ll celebrate when I hit the next milestone.”
✨ “I’ll rest once everyone else is taken care of.”

But here’s the secret: everything is never fully done. There will always be more tasks, more goals, more to-do lists.

Waiting for the “perfect moment” to live, rest, or celebrate only leaves you stuck in a cycle of postponing joy.

So here’s your reminder heading into the weekend: joy is available now. 🌸
Not when you cross off everything, not when you’re perfect—right now.

💬 What’s one joyful thing you’ll allow yourself today?
