The Perfection Paradox: Constriction vs. Flow

The Soulful Leader Podcast

Are there advantages and disadvantages of having a perfectionistic outlook on life? On yourself?
Stephanie and Maren argue both sides of this charged subject and share their unique insights on the lower vibration and the higher vibration of perfectionism.
In the lower energy of perfectionism we’re constricted, like ice (the lower vibration of water). We're always needing to be more, to have more, never feeling good enough. We’re so busy judging that we never get to actually be present and enjoy who we are and what we have.
The higher version stems from perfection’s original meaning, that something is whole or complete. This opens possibility and flow, like water (the higher vibration of ice). If we feel whole and complete, then the judgments fall away and we have space to iterate freely and own our greatness.
This is key for leaders. Leading from a place of wholeness (perfection) means we're no longer projecting our fears and shortcomings onto the people around us.
Are you ready to bring some awareness to where perfectionism fits into your life and embrace evolving into your natural flow state?
