219 Affirmations for Perfectionists

How often do you hear someone say they want to become perfect? Perfectionism is something that plagues us all at some point in our lives. If you struggle with perfectionism, affirmations can help you overcome these negative thoughts.

Perfectionism is defined as having high standards or expectations for oneself or others. People who suffer from perfectionism tend to compare themselves negatively to other people and see their flaws. They also tend to worry excessively about things that might go wrong.

Positive affirmations are positive statements that you repeat to yourself over and over again. By repeating them, you begin to believe them.

Positive affirmations can help you change your mindset and improve your self-esteem. When you set a goal, an affirmation can be used to support you through the process of achieving it.
