All or Nothing Mindset

Perfectionists often struggle with the all or nothing mindset, which hinders growth and progress. This fixed mindset restricts individuals to familiar territories, preventing them from embracing new challenges and experiences. By seeking perfection, they place immense pressure on themselves, categorizing outcomes as either perfect or failures. Overcoming this mindset involves taking actions despite uncertainties and understanding that progress is more important than perfection.
