I Always Feel Like i’m not Good Enough no Matter how Hard i Try. my Perfectionism Makes me Anxious and Exhausted. how can i Break Free From This Cycle?

Dear friend, I hear the weight of your struggle and want you to know your feelings are completely valid. Perfectionism often comes from a beautiful place – your deep care and commitment to excellence. But remember, even the most magnificent trees have imperfect leaves, and that’s what makes them uniquely beautiful. Try this: for one small task today, intentionally leave a tiny imperfection and notice that the world doesn’t end. Celebrate progress over perfection – each step forward is a victory. You are worthy exactly as you are, not for what you achieve. Breathe deeply, be gentle with yourself, and know that growth happens in the messy middle, not at some imaginary perfect endpoint.
