Have you ever been labeled "perfectionist"? Or do you consider yourself to be one? It's inviting to see perfectionism as a desirable or positive quality.

Healthy perfectionists want to develop their skills continually. Their standards are always rising, and they approach work with optimism, pleasure and a desire to improve. Unhealthy perfectionists, however, are never satisfied with what they achieve.  They may experience fear of failure, anxiety and other painful emotions.

 According to a 2011 research, perfectionism is linked to health issues such as eating disorders and depression. Perfectionism can also seriously impact your creativity. This is because perfectionism can prevent you from leaving your comfort zone and taking risks.  You may avoid starting a new project until you've found the best way to approach it. You might also get caught up in minor details or repeat tasks that have already been completed. As a result, this wastes time that could have been spent on more important tasks.

If you think that you have a problem with perfectionism, start by setting realistic goals. Think about your most important life and career goals. Not only will this make it easier to reach your objectives, but you'll also experience the thrill of achieving these smaller goals.

Perhaps Theodore Roosevelt said it best—"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. " Accept that this is the best you can do and don't try and make up some perfect world.

A. If something isn't perfect, they refuse it.

B. Perfectionism can lead to self-criticism, too.

C. Perfectionism can damage your productivity, too.

D. Then, break them down into monthly or yearly steps.

E. In fact, severe perfectionism can do more harm than good.

F. They show that you're not afraid to push yourself and try new things.

G. When perfectionism gets out of control, it can harm you in many aspects.
