If this is you, perfectionism may be keeping you from experiencing fulfillment in life. Your expectations of yourself are so intense that there’s no way you could ever reach them. As a result, you’re unhappy and restless. I understand because I’ve been there. In writing this blog, I have to fight my own inner critic that says, “Well, if you’re not sure that this is perfect and everyone will like it, maybe you should wait…or not publish at all…” That can lead to “You’re a failure and you’ll never get it all right.” That got dark fast, huh? That’s perfectionism for you. In her book The Gifts of Imperfection, Brene Brown tells us, “Understanding the difference between healthy striving and perfectionism is critical to laying down the shield and picking up your life. Research shows that perfectionism hampers success. In fact, it's often the path to depression, anxiety, addiction, and life paralysis.” The mind of a perfectionist is not kind to its owner. Why do you continue to let these thoughts have such power over you? It’s your mind, after all. Shouldn’t you be in charge of how it treats you? https://www.therapywithjoy.com/blog/howmeditationchangesyou-kbck2-balpb monthly 0.5 2021-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6137b7602c183f627fe16338/1631041393376-0YOQV0I5BVT7FKX8LVN2/MeditationChangesYou_BlogPost.png Blog - How Meditation Changes You - I’m about to ask you to do something that might seem silly if you’ve never tried it before. Take a minute and put down your to-do list. Turn your phone over (or better yet put it on airplane mode). Now focus on one thing: your breath. That’s all. Breathe in and out and marvel at the wonder that is life flowing through your lungs. Try it for at least 1 minute. Come back to this article when you’re ready… https://www.therapywithjoy.com/blog/2017/1/20/give-yourself-permission-to-not-have-it-all-z22e4-8eraf monthly 0.5 2021-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6137b7602c183f627fe16338/1631041393385-I9R1ABHB0DPSNO0RQJ10/GiveYourselfPermission_BlogPost.png Blog - Give Yourself Permission to Not "Have It All" Until a few years ago, it rarely occurred to me to spend time thinking about what my values were, what I truly wanted out of life, and how to work towards those values every day. Instead, I raced through life like a freight train, trying to be “efficient” while actually just wasting time on my smart phone and worrying too much about other people’s opinions. At the time, the main goal of my life was to move up in my career and personal life. Instead of stopping to say “How do I want to move up?” or even “What is my ‘up’? What does ‘moving up’ mean to me?,” I just ran, hoping whichever way I was going was that up. I went in every direction that looked decent in order to “have it all.” In the end, though, I just felt lost. I’ve come to a point where I no longer believe I must have it all or be it all. So many women feel this pressure today. We’re told it’s possible to have it all if we do ‘these 5 things’ or buy this product or that one... https://www.therapywithjoy.com/blog/category/Depression monthly 0.5 https://www.therapywithjoy.com/blog/category/Meditation monthly 0.5 https://www.therapywithjoy.com/blog/category/Anxiety monthly 0.5 https://www.therapywithjoy.com/blog/category/Women monthly 0.5 https://www.therapywithjoy.com/blog/category/Give+yourself+permission monthly 0.5 https://www.therapywithjoy.com/blog/category/Self+compassion monthly 0.5 https://www.therapywithjoy.com/blog/category/Perfectionism monthly 0.5 https://www.therapywithjoy.com/blog/tag/Give+Yourself+Permission monthly 0.5 https://www.therapywithjoy.com/blog/tag/Perfectionism monthly 0.5 https://www.therapywithjoy.com/home daily 1.0 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6137b7602c183f627fe16338/95065db1-5639-48b1-b26d-24498a8c2fa7/lgbtqandall-favicon%281%29%281%29%281%29.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6137b7602c183f627fe16338/1631041377060-22EXX4EXXJ1HNPAAR69U/content-pixie-Kfs-rQB6dl4-unsplash.jpg Home - VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON We offer both virtual and in-person appointments.
