The Perils of Perfectionism

Many individuals struggle with setting goals due to perfectionistic tendencies that lead to an all-or-nothing mindset. This approach often results in significant motivation at first, but when life presents challenges—like injuries or unexpected events—people tend to abandon their goals entirely. Recognizing that life is unpredictable should encourage a more realistic strategy that allows for flexibility and adaptability. Embracing the idea that something is always better than nothing can help maintain progress, even on challenging days.
