Leadership and Yoga 4 Ways to Redirect Anxiety-Causing Perfectionism
Let’s talk about how to channel the energy of perfectionism to where it counts. When perfectionism is spread too widely, it becomes anxiety.
I discuss how having everything too perfect actually stunts your growth, and how you can reframe how you think about perfectionism. You’ll find four keys to redirecting perfectionism so you can experience more peace, and more progress.
Plus, I share a moment during a race that is burned into my mind: a moment I realized that my need for perfectionism had gone too far, hurt a friendship and ultimately held me back from reaching my true potential.
