- Understanding the fear of success and its implications
Perfectionism can be you overworking yourself all the time because you are not just double and triple checking things, but you're checking things 10 times or 15 times, and it gets to the level where it becomes toxic, you know, to try to get from 99.9% to 100%.
Ever felt like you're walking a tightrope between high standards and burnout? In this episode of '1000 Days Sober', Lee Davy sits down with Martina Fink to unpack the multifaceted nature of perfectionism. They chat about how striving for flawlessness can sometimes be a blessing but often becomes a curse, especially when it intertwines with addiction. Martina dives into her own experiences, shedding light on how perfectionism can lead to overwork while still being oddly productive.
She emphasizes that labels like 'perfectionist' shouldn't box you in or define your journey. Instead, knowing what you truly desire and working towards it can be a powerful tool in overcoming addiction. The conversation also touches on chakras, emotional expression, and the societal pressures that shape our behaviors. If you've ever struggled with the fear of success or felt the weight of societal expectations, this episode offers valuable insights into embracing vulnerability and self-acceptance.
Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that could help you balance your ambitions without tipping into unhealthy extremes.
