PLAYING-IT-SAFE

• Do you deeply care about what you do that you don't measure what it takes you to accomplish a goal?
• Are you a very conscientious person that struggles to do things that are not-good-enough?
• Are you super-committed to the projects you participate in that you forget to eat, sleep, or hang out with your friends at times?
• Are you often preoccupied with thoughts about "I must do well, otherwise I'm bad?"
• Are grit and discipline hurting you?

Perfectionistic actions can keep you in a "perfect trap," but it doesn't have to be all bad. You can learn acceptance and commitment skills to release the shackles of perfectionistic actions without losing yourself and its benefits.

There are three important questions for you to answer to figure out whether your perfectionistic actions are working for you or against you.
