Are you too stressed, anxious, or paralyzed to even get started?Are your perfectionist tendencies preventing you from the life you want?If you constantly feel like crumbling under the mountains of expectations placed on you by yourself and others, you’ve got a serious problem that is keeping you from happiness and fulfillment.  Perfection is an illusion. Social media sells us the idea of perfection, and what, when and how should we achieve. This is enough to trigger a deep sense of inadequacy in us. Will we ever be enough?  Perfectionism cripples the mind, kills creativity, and harms performance.•What are the main types of perfectionism? •Learn simple techniques to act confidently.•When can perfectionism be useful?•What signs indicate that you’re a perfectionist?I’m a recovering perfectionist. As a teacher, I had to keep myself to high standards for the sake of my students. But this often came with sleepless nights and more stress than necessary. I have been studying the topic of perfectionism for many years. I summarized the best tips, practices, and stories I have learned along the way to ditch this unhealthy habit.While learning to overcome perfectionist instincts helps your life a lot, it won’t solve all your problems in life. A perfectionism-free life is far from perfect but you won’t mind having bumps in the road. You won’t aim for a perfect life anymore. Rather enjoy what life has to offer, learn, and grow. Imagine a life where: •Your inner critic will stay silent. •You won’t be fearful of taking action and failing.•You can jump into things without overanalyzing them.•You can be confident about your abilities without being terrified about the outcome?The Perfection Trap is a unique guide which will help you feel truly understood in your perfectionism problem (remember, I am a recovering perfectionist, too). It gives you a profound understanding of the pitfalls of this condition and recommends exercises that are easily doable and highly effective. After reading this book, overcoming perfectionism will be the only option you’ll see, and you’ll have all the stress-free tools to eat it. After all, the least I wish to convey is how to defeat perfectionism… perfectly.You are the creator of your own limits. You inject in your bloodstream those paralyzing expectations. Even the expectations of others are fabricated in your own mind most of the time. The Perfection Trapwill help you how to overcome these unhealthy habits:•Discover your main reasons to pursue perfection and learn how to change these beliefs.•Learn to take risks.•Ditch your limiting, negative self-talk, once and for all.•Learn the best anti-procrastination techniques.•Learn to set realistic expectations and goals. •Find our about a set of special exercises to change your perfectionist habits.•Test your level of perfectionism. Don’t let your unrealistic expectations ruin your personal and professional growth and happiness. Allow yourself the luxury of making mistakes. Learn. Laugh. Live. Mess things up, and then fix them. Embrace being a human who naturally errs. There is no shame in imperfection. But it’s a shame to waste your life chasing the illusion of perfection. 3
