how my perfectionism LIES to me vs. the TRUTH

- I read from my personal journal about my struggle with perfectionism, black and white thinking, and impossible standards I set for myself. Why? Because I KNOW that there is at least one other person out there that can relate to one of these lies I tell myself...
Impossibly high standards, extreme thinking, fear-based decision-making, I am guilty of it all. Writing all of these things down was very revealing (and laughable at moments), and gave me so much perspective.
At the end of the day, I want to be a good friend to MYSELF. If I treated my own friends like I talk to myself, I would be a bad friend. So how could I be okay with that treatment of myself?
Disclaimer
I realize that these statements/struggles do not relate to everyone. Like I said, this was from my personal journal! I just want to provide relief to anyone out there that also struggles with perfectionism - you are not alone and I hope that the truth statements at the end of this video were encouraging to you.
Which one did you resonate with the most? Please comment and tell me!
Definitely feel this daily! Literally this video are definitely my thoughts. And the half of those people who don’t put in the friendship….that one hit home! Trying to be the perfect teacher to fit all these different needs of 7 year olds. I’ve started not taking work home with me. Giving myself a break. It’s been a struggle but my mental health has gotten better because of it. Thank you for this video to let others know they aren’t alone ❤
Wow Bethany thank you so much for sharing. I'm so glad this video made you feel less alone.
I'm the farthest thing from a perfectionist but the thing about thinking you'll lose friends if you don't reach out hit haaard. I'll keep what you said about them being understanding. Thanks for another great video!!
Wow I’m glad it was encouraging to you! 🥲
Thank you for your vulnerability!
Oh man, Hannah! This was so good. As a mom in a similar season I really benefited from going through that practice of exchanging lies for truths. So powerful. I want to do this for myself!
I'm so glad to hear your thoughts!!!
