This perfectionism workbook encourages you to explore your own relationship with perfectionism and shows you how mindfulness exercises can help you overcome it. Understand perfectionism--Learn why perfectionism often takes root, from parental demands to societal expectations, and how it can manifest in different ways, like having unreasonable standards and low self-worth. Explore mindfulness--Discover why mindfulness is so effective at managing perfectionist tendencies and how it can cultivate patience, acceptance, and nonjudgment. Build your practice--Gain insight into your own perfectionism with thoughtful writing prompts, and develop mindfulness strategies through meditation, breathing exercises, and more. Rethink your relationship with perfectionism and adopt a healthier mindset through mindfulness.
