If you have trouble figuring out whether you have a problem with perfectionism, you might find answering the following questions helpful:

Do I have trouble meeting my own standards?
Do I often feel frustrated, depressed, anxious, or angry while trying to meet my standards?
Have I been told that my standards are too high?
Do my standards get in the way? For example, do they make it difficult for me to meet deadlines, finish a task, trust others, or do anything spontaneously?
Do I have problems with commitment?

Perfectionism affects how one thinks, behaves, and feels. To talk to someone today about overcoming perfectionism and underlying anxieties contact Nurse The Soul at www.nursethesoul.com.
