9 ways that perfectionism can lead to burnout

First of all, let’s clear out a really common misunderstanding.
We believe that perfectionism is a healthy mindset that leads to perfect results, perfect achievements, perfect life, to perfection.
However, the truth is somewhat different: perfectionism is the stress we feel in order to be perceived as perfect by others or ourselves and the exhausting effort we put in order to deal with that stress.
In other words, perfectionism feels like we are not enough and we need to try more in order to become so. And when we say “try”, we mean try a lot.

What is Empathy?

Empathy is our capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another's position, considering their emotions and experiences.
To get into the other person's shoes, as it is widely known.
Empathy is innate to human beings and it is our neurological response to another person’s emotions. The response to what is felt by another person occurs automatically and often out of our conscious awareness. From an early age we are wired to experience what another person is feeling which provides essential learning cues and marks our successful development.

How much of a Perfectionist are you?

Does it take you a long time to make a decision?
Are you the kind of person who is not easily satisfied with their performance/results/ efforts?
Do you spend a lot of time organising and making lists before you even start a task or a project?
Do you tend to procrastinate when you are assigned a challenging or even boring project?
Do you sometimes find yourself occupied with less important tasks while other more important ones are ...still pending?
