Pernicious Perfectionism: 3 Pervasive Patterns If you are a perfectionist, you know all too well how this way of being can trap you. You set high expectations for yourself, which can lead to success, and boost your self-esteem. But with those lofty goals can come a reciprocal mountain of self-criticism and judgment, which gets in the way of the success you seek! Are you stuck in Pernicious Perfectionism? Three Typical Patterns of Perfectionism Rigid perfectionistic beliefs have been linked to everything from anxiety disorders to suicidal ideation, not to mention the paradoxical decrease in performance. Here are three typical patterns of perfectionism and the common thought, feeling, and action tendencies underlying them. Amy: The Overachiever The Pattern: Perfectionism had worked for Amy growing up in a highly critical family. Most of the time, she was successful in her pursuits and she received praise from others. Jay: The ‘Failure’ The Pattern: Jay grew up in a family of over-achievers. Donna: The Procrastinator

Journée Mondiale de la Femme 2017 - 2018 - 2019 Les dates de la journée mondiale des droits de la femme en France pour 2017, 2018 et 2019. Actuellement, chaque année, en France et dans bien d'autres pays, la journée des droits de la femme suscite l'organisation d'événements par des femmes militant au sein d'associations de plus ou moins grande importance ou de groupes engagés sur le sujet. Il est important pour ces instances locales et nationales de rappeler chaque année, à la date de la journée des droits de la femme que dans ce domaine, rien n'est acquis et que les avancées pour l'amélioration du droit des femmes doivent être un combat de tous les instants. Si, en célébrant la journée de la femme 2017, d'aucuns pourront penser aujourd'hui que la journée des droits de la femme est née de l'initiative de femmes libérées du XXème siècle, il est temps de remettre la bonne date au bon moment. La journée des droits de la femme 2017 aura lieu le 8 mars.

Brené Brown | Speaker Anne Lamott on Writing and Why Perfectionism Kills Creativity Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life (public library) is among my ten favorite books on writing — a treasure trove of insight both practical and profound, timelessly revisitable and yielding deeper resonance each time. Lamott adds to the collected wisdom of great writers with equal parts candor and conviction, teaching us as much about writing as she does about creativity at large and, even beyond that, about being human and living a full life — because, after all, as Lamott notes in the beginning, writing is nothing more nor less than a sensemaking mechanism for life: One of the gifts of being a writer is that it gives you an excuse to do things, to go places and explore. What makes Lamott so compelling is that all of her advice comes not from the ivory tower of the pantheon but from an honest place of exquisite vulnerability and hard-earned life-wisdom. I started writing when I was seven or eight. But, one might wonder, why?

Ränta-på-ränta-formler, Excels slutvärde() och min kalkylator Att räkna på ränta-på-ränta kan vara klurigt. I den här artikeln går jag genom matematiken bakom, ger några exempel och visar hur det faktiskt ligger till. Jag har fått en del feedback på att min kalkylator för att räkna på ränta-på-ränta som jag uppdaterade nyligen inte fungerar. Grundläggande formeln för ränta-på-ränta För att ta det från början. där Slutvärde – är det värdet som du kommer att ha när beräkningen är färdig, t.ex. värde på ditt sparandeStartvärde – är det värdet som du har idag och börjar sparandet medRänta – är den räntan på årsbasis i procent, t.ex. 5 %Antal år – antalet år som du kommer att låta pengarna jobba Exempel på en ränta-på-ränta-beräkning Låt oss ta ett exempel. Startvärde = 100 000 krRänta = 8 %Antal år = 10 år Sätter vi in dessa värden i formeln så får vi följande beräkning och resultat: Så långt så gott. Perioden för när räntan ska beräknas kan ställa till det där: om vi fortsätter på samma exempel så blir de olika värdena: Slutvärdet för personen blir således:

The 2 Types of Perfectionism: One Helps While The Other Sabotages You share share share share A certain type of perfectionism can lead to depression, anxiety and eating disorders. A dark type of perfectionism focusing primarily on anxieties about being perfect can hurt many areas of people’s lives, a new review reports. Perfectionism of this type involves constantly worrying about reaching impossibly high standards and making mistakes. It also involves worrying about letting others down. The psychologists found that the personality trait was most strongly linked to burnout at work. This may be because high performance in the workplace can often go unrewarded. In contrast, a related personality trait which focuses on striving for perfection is linked to more positive outcomes. People who set themselves high goals and work towards them pro-actively do better than those who focus more on their anxieties. The conclusions come from a review of 43 different studies conducted over 20 years. Dr Andrew Hill, the study’s lead author, said: Dr Hill said:

Didner & Gerge | Aktiv förvaltning. Det gör skillnad. Pathways to Bliss: Joseph Campbell on Why Perfectionism Kills Love and How to Save Your Relationship “Where the myth fails, human love begins,” Anaïs Nin wrote in her diary in 1941. “Then we love a human being, not our dream, but a human being with flaws.” Indeed, just like perfectionism kills creativity, it also kills love — the more we mythologize and idealize the person we love, the more disillusioned and disheartened we grow as we come to know their imperfect humanity which, if untainted by these blinding ideals, is the very wellspring of true love. That is what playwright Tom Stoppard captured in what is perhaps the greatest definition of love, in his notion of “the mask slipped from the face,” the stripping of the idealized projection, the surrender to the beautiful imperfection of a human being. His focus on marriage is especially timely and poignant today, when the institution of marriage is being reimagined to be more inclusive and more just, which also means it’s being challenged to rise to higher standards of integrity. Two people meet and fall in love.

Five Ways to Find Perfection in Your Imperfections “This is our perfection: to find out our imperfections”– St. Augustine (as paraphrased by Sr. Joan Chittister) I was born a perfectionist. One of my earliest memories of my perfectionism was the habit of making my bed every morning as a kid. To be a kid who makes his bed is extraordinary in itself. Ensuring my bed was perfectly made was a sign of something deeper. I craved predictability because I was also a severe stutterer. No matter how hard I tried to hide my imperfect speech, it wouldn’t cooperate. I was ashamed. As I reached adolescence and early adulthood, it slowly dawned on me that the work of my life was not to stamp out all my imperfections but to let the imperfection itself become perfect. One day, I simply decided to accept my speech, just as it was. I want the same for you too. 1. Yes, this sounds like an oxymoron, but I have found it to be true in my life. Only after I exhausted myself trying to be perfect did I see the truth about the impossibility of the task. 2. 3. 4. 5.
