Perfectionism

WHAT WAS THIS MONTH ALL ABOUT?

 

Our theme for May is Perfectionism. Not sure if that’s you? Perfectionism is thinking ‘I have to get it right, otherwise I’m a failure’, ‘I have to do it this  way – there’s no other way’ or ‘I won’t even try in case I’m no good’.

 

Perfectionism affects how we view ourselves, as well as how we relate to others. It can stop us working effectively, feeling secure and even enjoying ourselves!

 

There are lots of ways to challenge perfectionism and it can be defeated with a change of perspective! Check our tips and resources on perfectionism below.

Don't forget!...

The Small Things Matter campaign is all about supporting you, with tools, tips and a bunch of courage to take the next step for you, however small: every step you take is no step too small. Small steps have big impact.

You can find us out and about (usually on the courtyard) on the first Tuesday of each month talking wellbeing and sharing advice. Expect things like cactus repotting, cups of tea and self-care gifts!
