b'Welcome back, if you are new here welcome. I am your host Don, and for today\\u2019s episode I am going off script.\\nForewarning, I am going to be all over the place today, I\\u2019d like to talk about a few things today that are centered around the following topics.\\n\\n Careers\\n Jobs\\n Gigs\\n Freelance work\\n Education\\n Being a student\\n Self advocacy\\n And hobbies.\\n\\nLets get into it.\\nWhich are all categories that encompasses the work part of work and life. You know the other 75% of what we do in order to have a life.\\nThis episode is for everyone, and it is especially for the overachievers, the perfectionists, the workaholics.\\nThere has been a rise in perfectionism over the past 4 decades now. There was a study done by Thomas Curran and Andrew Hill called Perfectionism Is Increasing Over Time: A Meta-Analysis of Birth Cohort Differences From 1989 to 2016. Long story short they found that perfectionism has been on a rise since the 80s.\\nAccording to research published by the American Psychological Association the drive to be perfect has increased and has had an impact in physical and mental health.\\nEveryone I know is a perfectionist in their own right.\\nI am a perfectionist. I have a criteria or standards in which everything I produce have to meet personally and professionally m. Now over the teas I\\u2019ve come to terms with the fact that not everything will meet those standards so I\\u2019ve become a little more lenient with putting out what I produce and accepting it as good enough but that took years and I am still struggling with it.\\nTypes of Perfectionism\\nPerfectionism comes in three common flavors \\u2014 \\u201cself-oriented,\\u201d where someone demands perfection from themselves; \\u201cother-oriented,\\u201d where they demand perfection from others around them (like spouses, co-workers or friends), and \\u201csocially prescribed\\u201d perfectionism, where the person feels external pressure from the larger world and society to be perfect.\\nhttps://www.vox.com/the-highlight/2019/11/27/20975989/perfect-mental-health-perfectionism\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thecreative/message\\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thecreative/support'
