On this week’s GoalChat, I talked about living Beyond Type A with KeishaMarie Douglas, Veteran Wingwomen Community; AJ Lauer, Thriving Ibis Leadership Solutions; and Evelyn Pacitti, Measurable Wellness. The trio shared their relationship with perfection, what caused them to embrace imperfection, and more.
What is Perfectionism?
- Evelyn: The vision of what in your head vs what’s real .. and the non-stop loop of trying to match them
- KeishaMarie: Doing the same thing and trying to get different results
- AJ: Having an idea of how you want something to go
How to Stay Balanced?
- Evelyn: Measure your energy
- KeishaMarie: Listen to your body, and make sure you have the mental space for what you want to accomplish
- AJ: Be willing to say no. Check in with your body to see how it reacts to opportunities. And to see if it drives you toward your long-term goals
