Psychology Today makes an interesting statement, "For perfectionists, life is an endless report card on accomplishments or looks. It is a fast track to unhappiness... What makes perfectionism so toxic is that while those in its grip desire success, they are most focused on avoiding failure..."
On our last show we began to discover the signs, symptoms, strengths and weaknesses of perfectionism. We discussed the importance of examining the positive and negative aspects of perfectionism, identifying the areas of weakness, and bringing our challenges to God in order to better move towards living a life free from the strains of performance.
On this show we will pick up right where we left off to continue our journey to a happier, healthy, and balanced life in Christ.
