We’re following up to last week’s episode on perfectionism with 10 practical tips on how to let go of the need to be perfect. And although these tips won’t perfectly cure perfectionism, they will offer some perspective on ways to not let it have so much control on our lives.

10 tips to help let go of the need to be perfect:

  • Recognize that perfect doesn't exit by accepting that you will make mistakes before they happen.
  • Do something you're bad at.
  • Embrace your mistakes as an opportunity to learn.
  • Emphasize the learning process, not the finished outcome.
  • Celebrate the uniqueness in the imperfections
  • Walk away and look at the big picture.
  • Show your work to others.
  • "Scrutinize" others' work.
  • Appreciate the time and effort you put into your creative endeavors.
