When ‘perfection’ is the requirement, finding balance between the goal and your well-being is vital for success and longevity.
Working in the arts, sports, medicine, or any other industry that demands perfection on the daily is stressful. Having a job that consistently requires you to be at your absolute best can be exhausting – and it’s even harder for perfectionists.
Their personal demands for excellence on top of those expected in the workplace are omnipresent. Such are the pressures, it’s easy to see why depression and burnout is on the rise. But help is at hand.
An educated and strategic commitment to the management of perfectionism is critical to any perfectionist working in a performance-based industry. Without it, they are vulnerable to a host of mental and physical health issues and are prevented from realizing their true potential.
Finding balance in the pursuit of perfection is the key.
