Perfectionism and Self-Care (the Challanges), Coach Menachem, Class# 66
It can be hard for a perfectionist to practice self-care. Perfectionists tend to be very hard on themselves, and as a result, they may neglect their own needs and well-being. This can lead to burnout, exhaustion, and a range of physical and emotional health issues.
Because perfectionists often set impossibly high standards for themselves, they may feel guilty or selfish for taking time to care for themselves. They may also struggle with feelings of inadequacy if they are not able to meet their own standards, which can create a vicious cycle of self-neglect.
However, it's important for all individuals, including perfectionists, to practice self-care in order to maintain their physical and emotional well-being. Self-care can include things like getting enough rest, eating well, engaging in physical activity, spending time with loved ones, and engaging in activities that bring joy and relaxation.
