Perfectionism Time GremlinPerfectionism is one of the most undermining, deceptive, and energy-sapping Time Gremlins around.  Do you feel its effects in your life?

In this post I am going to walk you through the process of stepping away from perfectionism so that you can gain a grounded perspective and start claiming your power and achieving your goals.

Slaying the Dragon of Perfectionism

You’re a true hero in your life each time you free yourself from painful patterns like perfectionism. No one else can overpower your Time Gremlins.  And the truth is that when they are entrenched, as perfectionism surely can be, it is a real battle, dislodging them.  Slaying dragons is a metaphor that is more accurate than you might imagine!

So when self-defeating behavior is deeply rooted, call upon your full range of strengths to overcome it. With wholehearted effort, you not only improve your time choices, you also develop more strength and focus for everything you do.
