How To Be An Imperfectionist

Do you struggle with perfectionism? In his book, “How To Be An Imperfectionist: The New Way to Self-Acceptance, Fearless Living, and Freedom from Perfectionism,” Stephen Guise talks about using an approach that focuses on Binary Results:  either I did it or I didn’t.  IE: Don’t focus so much on the quality of the results. Instead, simply track whether or not you did the activity. For example, ask yourself, “did I go to the gym today or not?” (NOT: how strong of a workout did I complete today). There are more tips in his book but adopting a binary mindset is a good starting point. How can you apply this to your life today?
