Are you guilty of perfectionism? I know I am. And I'm not saying this while I'm trying to ace an interview or secretly admire my personality. It is getting to me and I am at a stage where the worst of me is out there. I am at a new and complex job where people are not too kind. As much as I can put the blame on others, on introspection, the real problem lies within me. I have been successful in the past and it has gotten to me in such a way that I am not able to accept my current reality. As women, I know we are taught to be perfect and live by those high ideals. This is a shout-out to all those women out there that I see you - you are perfect, but the world and circumstances won't be. So, take it easy, give yourselves a break. I find this article of Margaret Rutherford especially insightful - https://psyche.co/guides/how-to-get-over-never-good-enough-a-practical-guide
