In all spheres of life, such a concept as perfectionism is more and more fully included. It would seem that this is good: striving for the best, eternal search - why is this not an impetus for development? But is it really so?
Perfectionism is a person’s infinite pursuit of excellence. Unfortunately, this only sounds beautiful, but in reality the effectiveness in this endeavor is zero point, zero point. This is not hard work and perseverance, which lead to a better result. Most often, just the opposite is the main inhibitory force, which is able to stop any undertakings.
The origins of human perfectionism are always in the sense of inferiority, which was formed by the environment and situations throughout the previous life. Most often, everything originates in childhood. Usually this happens if, instead of healthy encouragement and good instruction, parents developed a complex of a loser in their child with their endless criticism.
Such a person cannot give a real assessment of his abilities and capabilities, but constantly strives to adjust himself and all his results to an ideal framework, which he himself invented. In most cases, the results turn out to be bleak, existing complexes are progressing in development, and disbelief in oneself and one's strengths is growing.
Fear of non-compliance leads to the adoption of a new position in life - inaction. "Than to do badly - it is better not to do at all." But can this be considered a way out of this situation? The imbalance of the desired and the resulting in the head, first of all, must be gently corrected. In all matters relating to the psychology of personality, in no case can not be cut off the shoulder - all adjustments should be implemented gradually.
It is very important to realize that there are no ideal people, and everyone always has the opportunity to make a mistake. Moreover, this is the special value of life - in gaining one's own experience. Only he who does nothing is not mistaken, but we now know that this is not an option.
One should always strive to cover the entire situation, because very often, focusing on insignificant details and devoting all his strength to this, the main thing is that he leaves sight. The consequences in really serious matters can be very different, therefore it is better to act thoughtfully and consciously right away (the key word here is to act, and not to think and realize endlessly).
Try to cultivate the ability to listen and most importantly hear others. In fact, the right attitude to constructive criticism in most cases is already half the success. And try to come to terms with the fact that all people are imperfect, and this is precisely the peculiarity and value of each person.
