00:02Perfectionism does not always make performance better.
00:06Sometimes it does the opposite.

00:13The body gets tense.
00:15Thoughts race.
00:16And in the moments that matter most, a person can freeze.
00:20That can happen in meetings, presentations, exams, interviews, or even everyday conversations.
00:27Perfectionism often sounds like high standards.
00:30But it can actually become fear of mistakes, fear of judgment, and fear of not being enough.
00:36What helps?
00:37Shift from perfect outcome to simple process.
00:40Focus on the next step, not flawless execution.
00:44Slow the breath.
00:45Relax the body.
00:46Replace, I cannot mess this up with, I can handle this moment.
