The Perfectionist Syndrome.
Dr. David Burns, behavioral Therapist at the Presbyterian University of Pennsylvania Medical center save that it is better to aim at success, but not perfection. Compulsive perfectionism may actually lower performance and get in the way of success. As a psychiatrist, he feels this self –defeating habit will have its impact of one’s emotional health too. He conducted a test study of a group of over 150 persons. He found that over 40 percent of them were perfectionists. Predictably, this group felt under greater stress than their non perfectionist peers. They experienced much more anxiety and depression in their lives, there was not one shred of evidence that they were earning any more money . they weren’t even more successful. Moreover, the discouragement and pressure that so often plague perfectionist’s can even lead to decrease in creativity and productivity.
What do we mean by perfectionism? When we raise such about the healthy pursuit of excellence by person who take pleasure in meeting high standers. Then who are perfectionists? Perfectionists are people who strain compulsively towards impossible goals and measure their self-worth entirely in terms of their achievements. As a result , they are terrified by the prospect of failure. They feel driven, and , at the same time, unrewarded by their accomplishments. The very feeling “without my perfectionism, I ‘d be just a mediocre person. Ugh! who wants to be average?’ is quite self-defeating, subjecting a person who aims at peak perfection to emotional turmoil and impaired productivity. The other feelings that torment him/her are “ I will never made so many errors ! I mustn’t do that again!”.
How to get Over Perfectionist Syndrome.
If you are a compulsive perfectionist, you are undoubtedly good at focusing on all the ways you fall short. You spend your life cataloguing every mistake and shortcoming. Here is a simple method that may help you reverse this painful tendency.
List the things you do right each day. This may sound unsophisticated and couldn’t help you in any way. Try this of two weeks. You’ll begin to focus on the pluses in your life and will consequently feel better.
Another helful method involves, exposing the absurdity in the perfectionist, thinking all or nothing. Look around and ask yourself how many things in the world can be broken into this category. Are the walls around you totally clean? Is your favorite film star perfectly beautiful? Do you know anyone who is totally calm and confident all the time?
When you start looking around with a critical eye, you can get over this self=defeating all-or-nothing thinking. It helps you come out of that thinking which doesn’t fit into reality . Instead you can combat perfectionism by asking yourself. “What can I learn form my mistakes?’ As an experiment think about some error you made and write down everything you learn from it. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things.
Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. There is , after all, a reward in trying to be perfect, it protects us- from risking criticism, or failure l But it is also robs you of growth, adventure, and the opportunity to live life to the fullest. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a after happier and more productive person.

Quotes form the Essence of Gita
From where will come the power to collect together the whole mind? All power is within us because the Self is the source of all power is within us because the Self is the source of all power. The body, the mind and the intellect are only instruments of the Self. Using these instruments, the Self is playing, a s it were a great game. Just as efficiency is lowered when the instruments goes out of order, the play of the Self too is affected when the mind and the intellect become impure. It is then not able to manifest its infinite power. If , however, the mind and the intellect are pure with preponderance of serenity (Sattva), the power inherent in the Self can manifest wonderfully connection with religion.
I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha
