Motivational Monday: do you struggle with perfectionism?

Hi everyone,

I read this article on perfectionism today and I think it could be quite relevant for many of us. Perfectionism often goes hand in hand with mental illness. It's a tricky area because it can motivate us to do our best, but it can also give us harmful, unattainable ideals.

From the article:

Allowing yourself to view life in shades of grey (e.g., “That was not my best performance”) rather than in black and white (e.g., “Either my performance is perfect or it is unacceptable”) can help to take the sting out of perfectionistic tendencies.

Do you struggle with perfectionism? How do you deal with it?
