Es ist ein Fehler, keine Fehler machen zu wollen! In gesundem und verträglichem Ausmaß können Ehrgeiz und Genauigkeit in vielen Lebensbereichen von Vorteil sein, z.B. im Beruf. Nachteilig sind jedoch zu hohe Anforderungen an sich selbst, überkritische Beurteilungen und die Abhängigkeit von der Meinung anderer. Damit wird Perfektionismus schnell zur Blockade, die Erfolg und Wohlergehen behindert. Ziel dieses Selbstcoachings ist: Sich immer mehr von dem inneren Zwang zu befreien, Perfektes leisten zu müssen, und so seine Handlungsmöglichkeiten zu erweitern.

Wer so richtig scheitern will, nimmt sich am besten vor, alles perfekt zu machen. Dann wird im Job nichts je fertig, kein Partner ist gut genug, und selbst im schönsten Karibikurlaub stört noch das Salz auf der Haut und der Sand im Bett. Seien wir ehrlich: Perfektionismus ist ein Arschloch. Er ruiniert dir selbst den größten Erfolg, wenn nicht auch das letzte I-Tüpfelchen ein Diamant ist. Perfektionismus verunsichert, blockiert und zieht dich runter. Doch damit ist jetzt Schluss!
