Counseling Tip: How to Be Less of a Perfectionist and Enjoy Life More
It’s true. Most of us are harder on ourselves than we would be anyone else.
Whether you try Anxiety Counseling or choose a few of the strategies outlined here, it’s usually an eye-opening experience just how much pressure & negative self-talk we put on ourselves to be “perfect”.
If I think the worst, I’ll be ready. Won’t I?
Now we’ve filled up this one moment when we could be peaceful, and instead, filled it up with anxiety and worry. It really doesn’t get us very far.
When life is overwhelming, don’t let your thoughts lead you spiraling.
Mindfulness is just one technique we teach therapy clients.
And sometimes, it comes down to not looking ahead any further than your current breath.
Anxiety: What it Is & What to Do About It
Every human feels anxiety on occasion; it is a part of life. All of us know what it is like to feel worry, nervousness, fear, and concern. We feel nervous when we have to give a speech, go for a job interview, or walk into our boss’s office for the annual performance appraisal. We know it’s normal to feel a surge of fear when we unexpectedly see a photo of a snake or look down from the top of a tall building. Most of us manage these kinds of anxious feelings fairly well and are able to carry on with our lives without much difficulty. These feelings don’t disrupt our lives.
Anxiety: Taming the Terror
Anxiety in, and of itself, by its very nature creates more anxiety. One brief anxious moment can easily slip into another...and another...until you are experiencing a full-blown panic attack. Fear begets fear. It can be a vicious, uncomfortable cycle that you just can't seem to get away from, but the good news is, you can.
