Have you ever described yourself as a perfectionist, or had others mention you tend towards it? Perfectionism is often framed as a positive trait of high achievers. But it has far more downsides than you might realise.

As a recovering perfectionist myself, I’ve seen first-hand how perfectionism can sabotage progress and degrade self-esteem.

If your mindset isn’t in a good place, you likely aren’t either. Despite whether you're working out and tracking your nutrition day in day out, you are only ever as healthy as your mindset is. Your mental state has a direct impact on your overall health, behaviours and your ability to achieve physical results.
