Blogpost 3: Recovering Perfectionist

Dealing with my passion with perfection. It's certainly a question I ask myself every day: How far am I willing to go to reach that goal of excellence, to try to construct an abstract perfect a reality? But then I realized that God made us plain and simple on the other words,   nobody is perfect.  Everyone has their own flaws. Everyone makes mistakes. And everyone used to have bad days. Some people just need to wake up and figure it out. They think that they are so perfect that they are better than anyone else. They have to make sure that they have the perfect hair style, Clothes; The perfect skin complexion, the perfect friends, the perfect parents and so on and so on. This will show that it is okay not being perfect. Because deep down inside in God’s eyes we are all alike.

An appealing article I've discovered an article from Nina Elias named “The Dark Side of Perfectionism” A recent study in the Journal of Health Psychology, it could pose a health risk. According to researchers from the University of Surrey, there are two types of varieties -- adaptive and maladaptive. Maladaptive perfectionists, on the other hand, are driven by a strong worry of disappointment. Researchers discovered airing on the side of maladaptive perfectionism can have some several of possibly critical health effects.

 Nina Elias stated that “Not all perfectionist are created equal” they’re not equal in their own standard. Perfectionists have their own perception of excellence. I think we need to consider being a perfectionist is not better than being practically perfect.   

I also found an article entitled, “IsPerfectionism Holding You Back?” A journalist, smartest, funniest and talented person named Alice. An extraordinary worker in online media. She used to be a perfectionist.  Sometimes she puts a task off so long, hoping she'll find enough time to make it perfect, that she ends up rushing to get it done at the last minute. I realized that I've let perfectionism keep me from finishing certain project. 

According to Anjali Mullany “Perfectionism is a terrible, paralyzing trap” it’s a dreadful act that leads to a trick that will trigger most of us. We get to infatuated by things we love to deal with. Perfectionist individuals have a strong impulse to have even the presence of control.

I what way can we get over these perfectionist wishes that are keeping us from achieving our objectives? Is what we call "perfectionism” truly a sign of somewhat deeper--a lack of self-possession in our capabilities, on the other hand an anxiety of other people will receive our effort. That we used to struggle with similar difficulties.
