PERFECTION can hinder your work and the ability to go behind your passion. It mainly leads to procrastination. It happens when you FOCUSES ON THE RESULT APART FROM LEARNING IN THE PROCESS!
We put things on, waiting for the perfect idea or the time to come and be spot-on.
NEVERTHELESS, that never happens.
THE STUMBLING BLOCKS OF PERFECTIONISM CAN BE:
1) Feeling unable to do the perfect work leads to procrastination.
2) Affectioning that you have to put your 100 percent leads to delaying the work repeatedly because you can’t feel mentally involved all the time.
3) Just one small interruption because of the circumstances can put you in great danger of not doing what you intended to do.
4) You can feel low when you don’t perform your work or habit perfectly, it can affect your mental health.
Eventually; “it breakdown your progress”
MOTIVATION ON PERFECTIONISM AND CONSISTENCY
The graph suggests relying on motivation for perfection leads to downfall some days, but being consistent and just doing an adequate amount of work can be more helpful.
THE SOLUTION
Be ready for the worst case that something could have interrupted you, therefore you wouldn’t been able to do this much, and then take it as a positive way to do more of what you can. THIS PRACTICE IS CALLED PREMEDITATIO-MALORUM IN STOICISM: THE STOIC ART OF NEGATIVE VISUALIZATION
THE PRE-MEDITATION OF EVILS IS A PHILOSOPHICAL PRACTICE OF IMAGINING THINGS THAT COULD GO WRONG OR BE TAKEN AWAY FROM US. It helps us from life’s inevitable setbacks. Things can never come as clean and straightforward, we must psychologically be prepared for every case so trying to just put back work whenever you can and being consistent with it is the best way.
DOING SOMETHING IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN DOING NOTHING
Instead of ruining the whole day you may learn to make marginal improvement along the way and practice the art of showing up daily, kicking daily and you can do much better. It doesn’t matter if the work or habit you are performing is not perfect, only matter is you doing it every day.
We are humans, not robots who can resist interruptions, everybody gets distracted, and everybody gets knockdowns the only difference is between the ones who came back on track and the ones who let interruptions ruin their lives
