Jay Shetty: We are facing this changing society in which everyone is so concerned with success. He says that it doesn't have to be that way, and you're allowed to sometimes fail. And I think the world just becomes a lot more enjoyable when we accept our imperfections. The final reminder of the day? You do not need to be perfect.
Perfectionism is on the rise amongst young people, and in this episode we break down exactly what it means to have perfectionist tendencies. We examine the theories of personality, our upbringing, links to OCD and ADHD and what it means for academic performance and anxiety. We also dive into some of the methods for minimising our perfectionism, including visualisation, the 80-20 rule, cognitive behavioural therapy and positive self talk to show how life isn't perfect, so you don't have to be either. Listen now.
