Podcast. My guest today is Camilla Williams,
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:17.319
who is also a... doctor, and she is going to
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:21.939
talk about perfectionism, which sounds exactly
00:01:21.939 --> 00:01:25.920
like me and how I feel today and yesterday and
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:27.959
the day before that, pretty much every single
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:33.480
day. Welcome. Thank you so much for having me
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.659
here today. It takes one to know it. I'm a perfectionist
00:01:38.659 --> 00:01:43.390
in recovery myself. So talk to me a little bit
00:01:43.390 --> 00:01:47.829
about perfectionism. Yeah, so there's a couple
00:01:47.829 --> 00:01:50.530
different ways to define perfectionism. But what
00:01:50.530 --> 00:01:53.090
you're looking at it at the root is this idea
00:01:53.090 --> 00:01:57.409
that if I do things perfectly, if I act or behave
00:01:57.409 --> 00:02:01.049
and get everything done just right, then I can
00:02:01.049 --> 00:02:05.549
spare myself the pain and the shame that comes
00:02:05.549 --> 00:02:09.650
from judgment or criticism or rejection by others.
00:02:11.539 --> 00:02:14.759
Usually at the core of perfectionism is this
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.580
belief or this fear of I'm just not good enough.
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.620
I think that's where a lot of people kind of,
00:02:21.620 --> 00:02:23.599
well, I'm not perfectionist, right? Because you
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.520
look at your life and like, I'm not good enough.
00:02:25.539 --> 00:02:27.439
I don't feel like I ever do anything good enough.
00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:30.280
But it's actually because you feel that way and
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.259
the things you do to try to control it and handle
00:02:33.259 --> 00:02:36.300
it leads to those perfectionist behaviors that
00:02:36.300 --> 00:02:38.979
can sometimes get in the way of us actually moving
00:02:38.979 --> 00:02:42.830
forward. Oh, that sounds exactly like my day
00:02:42.830 --> 00:02:50.270
today. Yes. What's been going on for you? Perhaps
00:02:50.270 --> 00:02:54.810
you should be interviewing me. My perfectionism
00:02:54.810 --> 00:03:02.629
is, I feel like I'm all over the place. I just
00:03:02.629 --> 00:03:05.389
had to go back through all my blog posts just
00:03:05.389 --> 00:03:10.500
to, I had somebody make it. I had somebody to
00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:14.139
help me make a disclaimer for my website for
00:03:14.139 --> 00:03:17.819
affiliate marketing and everything. And they
00:03:17.819 --> 00:03:24.419
use a size 12 font. And I read a book of search
00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:27.680
engine optimization. And they said that every
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.699
website should at least have 16 size font. And
00:03:31.699 --> 00:03:37.180
at the time, I didn't know that. But I kind of
00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:39.919
felt like, why is this person making 12 and it's
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.919
like I want a 16 and she's like no it's like
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.080
you want 12 because so then people can differentiate
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.240
and it's like people can differentiate if the
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:52.240
if the font is two different fonts and one's
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:56.639
bold and one's not bold yeah so I went through
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.979
all of that and I was like man if I only could
00:03:58.979 --> 00:04:02.240
be just perfect and and I didn't have to go through
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.129
all this trouble right But I mean, that's a great
00:04:06.129 --> 00:04:08.830
example of, I think one of the things that's
00:04:08.830 --> 00:04:11.349
not, not all perfectionists, right? There's different
00:04:11.349 --> 00:04:14.349
flavors of perfectionism, but it does show up
00:04:14.349 --> 00:04:17.069
that way. Like one of the things that perfectionists
00:04:17.069 --> 00:04:20.790
will do is we will like obsess or ruminate over
00:04:20.790 --> 00:04:23.949
the little details and we're spending so much
00:04:23.949 --> 00:04:27.009
time and energy trying to get all the little
00:04:27.009 --> 00:04:29.750
details just right. And it's stressing us out.
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.000
And it's like when we take a step back and we're
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:34.980
trying to look at the bigger goal of what we're
00:04:34.980 --> 00:04:37.420
trying to accomplish, like get these blogs and
00:04:37.420 --> 00:04:41.139
get this website and get this launched. It's
00:04:41.139 --> 00:04:43.160
we're putting all our time and energy into something
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.759
that's not as I want to say it's not as efficient.
00:04:46.860 --> 00:04:49.279
It's not really what's going to move us forward
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.620
in terms of our business, our school and our
00:04:51.620 --> 00:04:54.740
goals. So a lot of perfectionists will spin their
00:04:54.740 --> 00:04:59.509
wheels. It's another way to procrastinate. That's
00:04:59.509 --> 00:05:01.970
another really big thing for perfectionism is
00:05:01.970 --> 00:05:06.730
we procrastinate a lot. And sometimes we'll procrastinate
00:05:06.730 --> 00:05:10.009
by staying busy. We're doing busy work. We're
00:05:10.009 --> 00:05:12.269
still working, but we're just not working on
00:05:12.269 --> 00:05:16.110
what actually needs to be done. Sounds like me
00:05:16.110 --> 00:05:25.269
in many, many ways. Oh my gosh. How did you know
00:05:25.269 --> 00:05:30.389
that you were a perfectionist? So it wasn't,
00:05:30.389 --> 00:05:32.970
no, I did not have like an aha moment. It was
00:05:32.970 --> 00:05:35.910
just over the course of time and in working with
00:05:35.910 --> 00:05:38.189
a lot of clients, I started to really pick up
00:05:38.189 --> 00:05:43.750
on these common themes among people and kind
00:05:43.750 --> 00:05:45.870
of recognizing that one of the reasons I worked
00:05:45.870 --> 00:05:47.670
so well with it is because I really understood
00:05:47.670 --> 00:05:51.420
it. It's because I went through it myself. And
00:05:51.420 --> 00:05:54.379
I guess the first time I really like got hit
00:05:54.379 --> 00:05:56.759
over the head with it was when I was in graduate
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.779
school. So I had been able to keep up my perfectionistic
00:06:00.779 --> 00:06:04.740
ways throughout college, procrastinating till
00:06:04.740 --> 00:06:07.399
the last minute, pulling all nighters to get
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:10.399
things done and things always got done. But when
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:12.860
I got to graduate school, that was not working
00:06:12.860 --> 00:06:16.079
anymore. procrastinating because i was so afraid
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.399
like i had to get the term paper just right and
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:20.160
it had to be perfect and i had to get a good
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.939
grade and i would wait till the last minute and
00:06:22.939 --> 00:06:26.079
a graduate term paper you can't do it in an overnighter
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:30.920

00:07:28.569 --> 00:07:31.029
Research and preparation, and I started falling
00:07:31.029 --> 00:07:34.300
behind. And that's when it really like I had
00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:37.160
to stop and check myself. I'm like, what is going
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.060
on here? This is actually starting to create
00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:41.319
some real consequences for me in the real world.
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.319
And I needed to change that. Well, I didn't get
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.160
to that part yet, but hopefully you can catch
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:50.579
it sooner and then you won't have to deal with
00:07:50.579 --> 00:07:55.339
it. I hope so, because, you know, I think I think
00:07:55.339 --> 00:07:58.480
in my opinion and I hope my mom does not overhear
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:02.589
this. Crap. She probably might listen to this
00:08:02.589 --> 00:08:07.509
podcast. I feel like I kind of get my perfectionist
00:08:07.509 --> 00:08:11.509
from her a little bit because I feel like, oh,
00:08:11.529 --> 00:08:15.250
I'm not doing enough. Like today I felt like
00:08:15.250 --> 00:08:18.449
I'm not doing enough marketing on my end. I have
00:08:18.449 --> 00:08:21.569
a bunch of tools that can help automate the process
00:08:21.569 --> 00:08:26.079
to keep my account. flow so it's not like lost
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.699
in the shuffle of put me in the bottom of facebook
00:08:28.699 --> 00:08:34.080
um and uh but i just feel like oh i could be
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:38.399
talking more about uh speaking experience uh
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:42.320
i could be talking about i don't know many other
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:46.639
things and i just feel like uh i'm doing a b
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:51.279
c d e f g well but i'm not doing all the other
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:55.379
stuff well and i feel like oh man i wonder if
00:08:55.379 --> 00:08:58.600
people are going to think is he in there for
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.600
his head is he just a terrible motivational speaker
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.919
just a terrible person who can't even just make
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.659
time for everything all right why can't you make
00:09:08.659 --> 00:09:12.340
time for everything okay that's such a great
00:09:12.340 --> 00:09:15.740
my day right with all those 48 hours every day
00:09:15.740 --> 00:09:19.669
i wish But no, you're absolutely right. Like
00:09:19.669 --> 00:09:22.350
most perfectionists, like we start to learn these
00:09:22.350 --> 00:09:25.409
behaviors early on, like growing up in our families.
00:09:25.429 --> 00:09:27.629
And there can be a lot of different reasons why,
00:09:27.830 --> 00:09:31.429
like different root causes. But one of them is
00:09:31.429 --> 00:09:34.990
like we learn it by modeling what we see from
00:09:34.990 --> 00:09:37.570
our caregivers. You know, whether it's a parent,
00:09:37.769 --> 00:09:41.350
a grandparent or a teacher, we kind of just grow
00:09:41.350 --> 00:09:43.330
up absorbing it and learning that that's kind
00:09:43.330 --> 00:09:47.480
of the expectation. But that. You know, it can
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:51.700
be a little bit stressful if we really hold on
00:09:51.700 --> 00:09:53.679
to that thought of I should be doing more because
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.480
there's always something more, right? This isn't
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:58.340
good enough. There's always going to be more
00:09:58.340 --> 00:10:00.519
that you can do. And if you don't know when to
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.519
stop or where to draw the line, you're going
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.299
to burn out. And that's something that I see
00:10:06.299 --> 00:10:08.559
a lot in the people I work with is they go through
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:10.980
these crazy cycles of work, work, work, work,
00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:13.700
work, trying to do it all. And then they kind
00:10:13.700 --> 00:10:15.500
of crash and burn and they're doing nothing.
00:10:16.220 --> 00:10:18.179
because they just completely burned out and then
00:10:18.179 --> 00:10:20.399
they start over and it's just this constant up
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.379
and down cycle so it's learning to kind of when
00:10:24.379 --> 00:10:27.139
to stop and step back and create a little bit
00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:30.059
more balance you basically summed up my whole
00:10:30.059 --> 00:10:34.659
2017 to 2018 year of starting crazy fitness guy
00:10:35.659 --> 00:10:40.740
90 plus hours a week 90 plus hours a week that's
00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:43.600
a lot and one of the things that happens too
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:45.960
is I'll talk with people and they're like well
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.750
I'm not perfectionist because my you know My
00:10:48.750 --> 00:10:51.889
home is messy, like everything there is disorganized.
00:10:51.909 --> 00:10:53.669
And I'm like, well, you can be perfectionist
00:10:53.669 --> 00:10:57.149
in certain areas of your life. And because all
00:10:57.149 --> 00:11:00.169
of your time and energy is going into that one
00:11:00.169 --> 00:11:03.409
area, the other areas of your life are kind of
00:11:03.409 --> 00:11:05.830
crumbling and a bit of a mess because you just
00:11:05.830 --> 00:11:08.049
haven't been giving it enough time and energy.
00:11:08.830 --> 00:11:11.210
And so, yeah, I'll see this where people put
00:11:11.210 --> 00:11:13.470
all their time and energy into work, but they
00:11:13.470 --> 00:11:15.789
don't have any time or energy left for their
00:11:15.789 --> 00:11:18.360
health. Or they're putting all their time and
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.779
energy into their health, right? Eating healthy,
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:22.940
exercising, all those things, but they're not
00:11:22.940 --> 00:11:25.740
really investing in their relationships and they're
00:11:25.740 --> 00:11:28.039
a bit disconnected. So there's a lot of different
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.519
ways that it can show up. And so I just want
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:32.639
to caution that, that you don't have to be perfectionist
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:38.919
in all areas. Would you say that perfectionism
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:43.990
could happen like you said earlier? early on
00:11:43.990 --> 00:11:47.809
in life but can it also happen i don't know as
00:11:47.809 --> 00:11:52.250
an adult too like i felt i feel like i didn't
00:11:52.250 --> 00:11:56.450
start uh feel like i was becoming a perfectionist
00:11:56.450 --> 00:12:02.509
until i don't know maybe the the last few years
00:12:02.509 --> 00:12:05.629
of running crazy fitness guy i feel like i was
00:12:05.629 --> 00:12:10.340
i'm around my parents and i feel like i had to
00:12:10.340 --> 00:12:12.259
do this a certain way i had to do this a certain
00:12:12.259 --> 00:12:14.200
way i had to finish this project before i start
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:19.159
anything else and uh i mean i don't mind like
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:22.759
finishing one project but i mean it just feels
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.460
like i see my mom doing all these things and
00:12:25.460 --> 00:12:27.320
it's like should i be doing more should i be
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:31.519
doing this should i be doing that yeah no it
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.360
it it absolutely can show up at any point in
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:38.820
your life There can be certain things that kind
00:12:38.820 --> 00:12:42.840
of trigger it and bring it on. And so I'll actually
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.559
I'll share that like the two, you know, there's
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:47.720
kind of two paths that I see most often. And
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:50.080
this isn't the end all be all. Everyone has a
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:53.399
unique experience. But most commonly, what happens
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:57.340
is perfectionism kind of starts to come up when
00:12:57.340 --> 00:13:00.580
you're trying to prove yourself to someone or
00:13:00.580 --> 00:13:04.120
something. And so I kind of call this I'm trying
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:08.320
to get. accepted I'm trying to be loved I'm trying
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.519
to get recognized and praised and so it's like
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:13.220
I'm trying to prove myself if I can do all this
00:13:13.220 --> 00:13:16.200
and achieve all this and more more more more
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.960
more like then people will be proud of me and
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.639
they will praise me and they will accept me no
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:24.639
one will judge me no one will criticize me no
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.879
one will reject me and so the perfectionism kind
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:31.580
of comes up in this space of I am afraid that
00:13:31.580 --> 00:13:34.019
if people see me make a mistake or not do things
00:13:34.019 --> 00:13:35.980
perfectly, they're going to think less of me.
00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:38.720
And so I'm going to try to do all these things
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:42.139
to protect against that. And so that's kind of
00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:45.559
one path. The other path is when you're kind
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.740
of in a harsh environment. And that can happen
00:13:48.740 --> 00:13:50.840
at any point in your life and harsh environment,
00:13:50.940 --> 00:13:54.659
it can be anything from like abuse or trauma,
00:13:54.779 --> 00:13:58.639
to being bullied to being socially rejected,
00:13:58.779 --> 00:14:02.580
or to even, you know, starting a new job where
00:14:02.580 --> 00:14:04.960
you just don't fit in. And now you're trying
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.679
to protect yourself from being hurt, because
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.519
you are in a harsh environment. And that's where
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:12.059
these perfectionistic behaviors come out. It's
00:14:12.059 --> 00:14:15.730
like, if I do everything perfectly, then mom
00:14:15.730 --> 00:14:18.250
won't yell at me. If I do everything just right,
00:14:18.470 --> 00:14:20.789
then the boss isn't gonna call me out in front
00:14:20.789 --> 00:14:23.629
of everyone. If I get everything just right,
00:14:23.889 --> 00:14:27.009
and then people are gonna wanna be on my group
00:14:27.009 --> 00:14:29.850
project in class and no one's gonna say, I don't
00:14:29.850 --> 00:14:32.690
want this person on my team. And so it becomes
00:14:32.690 --> 00:14:35.789
as a way to try to protect against being criticized
00:14:35.789 --> 00:14:39.330
or judged or hurt. And so those are kind of two
00:14:39.330 --> 00:14:42.409
of the most common pathways that I see, but just
00:14:42.409 --> 00:14:45.519
notice that it's almost, I always want to tell
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.399
people like, don't feel bad if you are a perfectionist,
00:14:48.419 --> 00:14:51.220
like just acknowledge and recognize that this
00:14:51.220 --> 00:14:54.539
is how you've learned to kind of protect yourself
00:14:54.539 --> 00:14:58.440
and survive and get and try to do well, basically.
00:14:59.379 --> 00:15:06.340
I definitely know. I definitely know when I was
00:15:06.340 --> 00:15:13.620
doing. I kind of feel like lately, the perfectionist.
00:15:16.849 --> 00:15:24.169
I kind of feel that way from doing motivational
00:15:24.169 --> 00:15:28.850
speaking. I feel like I have to be on top. I
00:15:28.850 --> 00:15:32.210
feel like Google needs to find me more and I'm
00:15:32.210 --> 00:15:36.190
recent and I'm not just some kind of all over
00:15:36.190 --> 00:15:46.860
the place. I agree definitely with what you said.
00:15:47.019 --> 00:15:50.759
I kind of feel like my profession also comes
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.259
from maybe just the bullying that I got when
00:15:54.259 --> 00:15:58.139
I was growing up where I feel like I didn't fit
00:15:58.139 --> 00:16:01.360
in. So now I'm trying to figure out, okay, so
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:03.399
how can I fit in the motivational speaking world?
00:16:03.500 --> 00:16:07.019
How can I fit in? to make other people feel good
00:16:07.019 --> 00:16:09.940
because right and sometimes I don't feel like
00:16:09.940 --> 00:16:12.080
I'm making myself feel good and so it's like
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.139
maybe I can just feel make someone else feel
00:16:14.139 --> 00:16:17.980
better yeah yeah and that fitting in is such
00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:21.759
a big part of it that was my flavor of perfectionism
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.580
was the fitting in is like I kind of learned
00:16:24.580 --> 00:16:27.220
growing up it's like oh when I do something really
00:16:27.220 --> 00:16:29.620
well people want to hang out with me and they
00:16:29.620 --> 00:16:32.259
want to be on my team this feels good how do
00:16:32.259 --> 00:16:35.279
I get more of it and it just kind of It can spiral
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.000
out of control. And like, that's one of the things
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.179
that I wanted to share. It's like, I get a lot
00:16:40.179 --> 00:16:42.200
of people saying like, well, what's wrong, right?
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:44.860
What's so what? Like my perfectionism actually
00:16:44.860 --> 00:16:48.240
helps me be a go -getter and achieve and do more
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:49.919
and more and more because I have that drive.
00:16:50.059 --> 00:16:53.720
And a lot of people are, you know, able to go
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.700
get by just fine. But the people who end up working
00:16:56.700 --> 00:16:59.879
with me, it's because it is leading to some consequences.
00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:03.240
It's creating some problems. Two of the things
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.819
that I see as, you know, having the biggest consequences
00:17:07.819 --> 00:17:12.680
is perfectionists. They tend to give up more
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:17.140
easily or not even try. And I want to talk a
00:17:17.140 --> 00:17:18.819
little bit about that because if you're trying
00:17:18.819 --> 00:17:21.460
to launch something, you want to be an entrepreneur
00:17:21.460 --> 00:17:24.960
or you're faced with like new challenges at school
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:28.000
or work, this really becomes an issue if you
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.759
give up more easily or you don't even try. So
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.319
the giving up easily, it's I'm trying to do everything
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:38.880
perfectly and I'm spending so much time and energy
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.400
on all the little details that maybe aren't as
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.299
important in the bigger picture. I'm overworking
00:17:44.299 --> 00:17:46.500
myself and I'm burning out because I'm doing
00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:49.500
too much too soon. And I'm in it for the sprint
00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:51.720
when really I need to be in it for the marathon.
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:54.839
That's where it's more likely to just give up,
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:56.859
right? It's that bit of that all or nothing like,
00:17:56.940 --> 00:17:59.039
oh, I tried it, didn't work, throw my hands up
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:02.980
in the air and give up. And so I'll see this
00:18:02.980 --> 00:18:04.880
with a lot of perfectionists who will start and
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:07.339
stop a lot of projects. They've got a lot of
00:18:07.339 --> 00:18:10.339
things going on, but not one thing is actually
00:18:10.339 --> 00:18:14.049
finished and taken through to completion. The
00:18:14.049 --> 00:18:17.150
other one is just not trying. There's this fear
00:18:17.150 --> 00:18:20.369
of taking a risk of putting myself out there
00:18:20.369 --> 00:18:25.569
because the brain is like. There are so many
00:18:25.569 --> 00:18:28.509
ads these days, wherever you go, there are ads
00:18:28.509 --> 00:18:32.069
in movie theaters on TV, on radio and on billboards.
00:18:32.450 --> 00:18:35.109

or click on the Premium Podcast link in the show
00:19:02.869 --> 00:19:09.400
notes. Now let's get back to the show. Like,
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:12.460
what if I fail? What if I fall flat on my face
00:19:12.460 --> 00:19:15.099
and then it's proof? Everyone's going to point
00:19:15.099 --> 00:19:17.380
and laugh at me and see, I knew you couldn't
00:19:17.380 --> 00:19:19.900
do it. See, I knew you weren't good enough. See,
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:22.599
I knew you weren't cut out for this. And so there's
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.339
a part of us that's like, I don't want to wait
00:19:25.339 --> 00:19:28.380
to find out if that's true. So I'm not even going
00:19:28.380 --> 00:19:30.599
to try. I'm not going to put my hat in the ring
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:32.500
and I'm just going to sit here and play small.
00:19:34.220 --> 00:19:37.299
I just wanted to throw that out. If you find
00:19:37.299 --> 00:19:40.279
yourself giving up easily or not taking risks,
00:19:40.299 --> 00:19:42.700
not trying because you are afraid of failing,
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:46.200
you might be a little bit of a perfectionist.
00:19:46.819 --> 00:19:53.720
So how can people combat being a perfectionist?
00:19:53.859 --> 00:19:57.000
What are some ways? Because I think it would
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:02.259
help me and my listeners to figure out how to
00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:05.660
combat ways. I definitely need it in the next
00:20:05.660 --> 00:20:07.799
few weeks because I'm feeling burned out already.
00:20:09.859 --> 00:20:14.119
So the first way is I always like to kind of
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:17.619
remind people, you need to learn to recognize
00:20:17.619 --> 00:20:20.920
when you're falling into that all or nothing
00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:24.119
pattern. So the first step is you got to recognize
00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:25.740
it because if you don't know what's happening,
00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:27.980
then you can't do anything to change it. And
00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:30.299
so it takes a little bit of practice, but really
00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:33.039
look at the different areas of your life. Am
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:35.700
I approaching this of like, I got to go all in.
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:37.640
And so I'll see this with health changes, right?
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:39.640
I want to get healthy. I want to lose weight.
00:20:40.099 --> 00:20:42.519
So I got to go to the gym every day and I got
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:44.180
to drink a green smoothie every morning and I
00:20:44.180 --> 00:20:45.700
got to take all these supplements and I got to
00:20:45.700 --> 00:20:47.420
cook healthy and I got to cut out sugar and I
00:20:47.420 --> 00:20:49.720
got to do it all. And I do it all for three days
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:51.359
and now I'm overwhelmed and tired and I don't
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:54.059
do anything at all. And I stop. All right. That's
00:20:54.059 --> 00:20:56.700
that all to nothing is I'm telling myself I have
00:20:56.700 --> 00:20:59.400
to do it all just perfectly. And when it comes,
00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:02.869
it becomes too much. kind of fall off the wagon
00:21:02.869 --> 00:21:06.029
and give up. I'll see this among dieters like,
00:21:06.130 --> 00:21:08.970
oh, I, you know, I cheated. I fell off my diet.
00:21:09.009 --> 00:21:11.329
Well, the whole day is gone. It's like, that's
00:21:11.329 --> 00:21:13.369
all or nothing. Just because you, you know, had
00:21:13.369 --> 00:21:16.230
one meal off plan, you don't have to throw out
00:21:16.230 --> 00:21:19.750
the whole day. You can get back on track. So
00:21:19.750 --> 00:21:23.230
just notice this all or nothing pattern coming
00:21:23.230 --> 00:21:25.309
up for you because then the challenge becomes.
00:21:26.059 --> 00:21:29.160
What is that middle zone? You know, if you have
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:30.700
all or nothing, black and white, what's that?
00:21:30.779 --> 00:21:35.039
I call it the gray area in between. So how can
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:37.819
I break things down into smaller steps instead
00:21:37.819 --> 00:21:41.660
of saying I have to do the entire term paper?
00:21:41.859 --> 00:21:44.599
I got to do it all and I got to do it just right.
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:46.220
And I'm going to be working day and night for
00:21:46.220 --> 00:21:47.819
the next two weeks because this paper is due
00:21:47.819 --> 00:21:51.140
next Friday. OK, I'm doing all or nothing again.
00:21:51.609 --> 00:21:53.269
How do I break this down? It's like, you know
00:21:53.269 --> 00:21:55.589
what? I'm just, I'm going to write one paragraph
00:21:55.589 --> 00:21:58.049
with two references. You got to be very specific.
00:21:58.690 --> 00:22:02.109
You break it down and you start little step by
00:22:02.109 --> 00:22:05.369
step. It's easier said than done. I know this
00:22:05.369 --> 00:22:08.609
is why it helps to have a friend, someone who
00:22:08.609 --> 00:22:11.809
can hold you accountable to kind of be a little
00:22:11.809 --> 00:22:13.670
bit of that sounding board of like, okay, I'm
00:22:13.670 --> 00:22:15.750
doing this again and they can call you out on
00:22:15.750 --> 00:22:18.890
it. But the idea here is you're learning to focus
00:22:18.890 --> 00:22:22.589
on. process. That gray area, I call it the process.
00:22:22.710 --> 00:22:26.569
It's not about turning in the term paper and
00:22:26.569 --> 00:22:29.230
getting the A plus. It's about what you're learning
00:22:29.230 --> 00:22:32.589
during the process. It's not about getting completely
00:22:32.589 --> 00:22:36.549
ripped and shredded in the gym. It's about showing
00:22:36.549 --> 00:22:39.109
yourself that you can be consistent and that
00:22:39.109 --> 00:22:41.109
you can show up for yourself and take care of
00:22:41.109 --> 00:22:44.440
your body little by little, day by day. And so
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:46.839
the more that you can learn to enjoy the process
00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:49.180
and the journey and the less you're kind of removing
00:22:49.180 --> 00:22:51.640
yourself from like, but I got to get this done
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:53.819
that right that I got to do it all and I got
00:22:53.819 --> 00:22:57.279
to do it all now. The less stressed you're going
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:00.599
to be. So I'm going to slow down right there.
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:02.119
I want to check in with you because I got a lot
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:06.859
of other tips to share. Oh, well, well, there's
00:23:06.859 --> 00:23:10.960
a I just have to add something real quick there.
00:23:11.819 --> 00:23:18.819
Like. I, about that gray area about, I know for
00:23:18.819 --> 00:23:25.579
myself, like, I've been noticing a little, when
00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:27.859
you were saying that, I've been kind of just,
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:31.740
I was obviously listening, but I was also, like,
00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:34.180
thinking in my head of, like, I always start
00:23:34.180 --> 00:23:38.819
my mornings out and everything, and, like, when
00:23:38.819 --> 00:23:43.759
I get out of bed, and, like, in the morning after
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:46.660
i work out and everything i start like checking
00:23:46.660 --> 00:23:51.880
uh like just pretty much stupid stuff like i
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:56.140
uh i um for instance like i keep on thinking
00:23:56.140 --> 00:24:00.960
as i uh like for i'm gonna give you like a really
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:04.279
crazy example um like i always keep checking
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.799
to see where crazy fitness guy is on in Google
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.420
search just to see, um, it was like, Oh, it's
00:24:11.420 --> 00:24:14.599
like, am I doing well here? And I was like, did
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:17.940
Google give me any, some, any knowledge graphs
00:24:17.940 --> 00:24:23.240
or anything? And I'm like, we are audio stack
00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:26.740
.ai combining AI writing the best synthetic voices
00:24:26.740 --> 00:24:29.599
with production and delivery, be it ads, podcasts,
00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:32.640
or VOs for video, just like this ad. How would
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:38.019
you utilize AI audio for free? Go to audiostack
00:24:38.019 --> 00:24:41.119
.ai forward slash contest. Give us just a few
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:43.099
details. And you could replace this spot and
00:24:43.099 --> 00:24:46.140
be heard by millions. See web page for T's and
00:24:46.140 --> 00:24:52.299
C's. Audiostack .ai forward slash contest. It's
00:24:52.299 --> 00:24:55.779
like I have no control over this. I can point
00:24:55.779 --> 00:24:58.240
Google in the right direction. They can show
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:01.039
whatever they want to show. And I kind of feel
00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:06.970
like and I. And I kind of forgot how long it
00:25:06.970 --> 00:25:12.650
has taken Crazy Fitness Guy to get to start ranking
00:25:12.650 --> 00:25:17.630
for its own brand name. And I'm trying to do
00:25:17.630 --> 00:25:22.369
that for my own name. And where I am in Google
00:25:22.369 --> 00:25:26.990
is like not in the worst possible situation at
00:25:26.990 --> 00:25:31.230
all. It is like I feel like I'm more paying attention
00:25:31.230 --> 00:25:35.109
to like... ah as i wish this was done i wish
00:25:35.109 --> 00:25:38.450
i was on top of the world and people know me
00:25:38.450 --> 00:25:42.049
by name yeah i'm not enjoying the journey and
00:25:42.049 --> 00:25:45.490
and when you said that it kind of hit that spot
00:25:45.490 --> 00:25:47.569
right for me right there and then it was like
00:25:47.569 --> 00:25:50.329
well i think that's where all my stress is right
00:25:50.329 --> 00:25:53.410
there and like i i know the school is stressing
00:25:53.410 --> 00:25:56.230
me out but i mean okay i'm in a good spot of
00:25:56.230 --> 00:25:59.150
a school but i mean keep on seeing myself doing
00:25:59.150 --> 00:26:02.430
this every single day and i'm like Why am I doing
00:26:02.430 --> 00:26:04.710
this? And it's like, Google doesn't change anything
00:26:04.710 --> 00:26:08.250
overnight. And if they do, it's either slightly
00:26:08.250 --> 00:26:13.789
or really bad if I screw something up. But it's
00:26:13.789 --> 00:26:17.650
never just like, you're famous overnight. Be
00:26:17.650 --> 00:26:21.029
nice. It would be nice, right? But I mean, you
00:26:21.029 --> 00:26:23.789
really hit the nail on the head there. It's just,
00:26:23.849 --> 00:26:27.329
I just want to be on top of Google and everybody
00:26:27.329 --> 00:26:29.730
know my name. And if I could just get there,
00:26:29.769 --> 00:26:33.029
then things will be okay. unfortunately, like
00:26:33.029 --> 00:26:35.250
if you don't enjoy the journey, when you get
00:26:35.250 --> 00:26:38.109
there, you're going to be like, well, but now
00:26:38.109 --> 00:26:41.670
I need to be on top of YouTube because, and then
00:26:41.670 --> 00:26:43.549
when you get there, it's like, well, now I need
00:26:43.549 --> 00:26:45.769
to be on the New York. There's always going to
00:26:45.769 --> 00:26:49.829
be something else, right? I can't, I got to find
00:26:49.829 --> 00:26:51.430
the book. I can't remember what book it was.
00:26:51.509 --> 00:26:54.049
I read it in, but it shared the story of a college
00:26:54.049 --> 00:26:57.609
professor who was highly decorated, all kinds
00:26:57.609 --> 00:27:01.150
of publications and books. um very well respected
00:27:01.150 --> 00:27:04.230
but feeling down and a bit depressed and the
00:27:04.230 --> 00:27:06.589
sense of being like i don't have a nobel prize
00:27:06.589 --> 00:27:09.069
like my colleague down the hall right it's like
00:27:09.069 --> 00:27:11.329
no matter how much you've achieved like he still
00:27:11.329 --> 00:27:13.710
felt bad and not good enough because he didn't
00:27:13.710 --> 00:27:16.450
have a nobel prize and it's like you ask anyone
00:27:16.450 --> 00:27:19.450
else and anyone else would be like so happy to
00:27:19.450 --> 00:27:21.690
have achieved even a fraction of what you have
00:27:21.690 --> 00:27:26.200
but when we're in that mindset When I get this
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:29.200
or I get there, then things will be better. And
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:31.799
you don't enjoy the process, the journey. When
00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:33.920
you get there, guess what? The exact same problems
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:36.200
are going to be right there along with you. Yeah,
00:27:36.259 --> 00:27:38.720
I kind of think that, you know, instead of calling
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:43.160
it like the gray matter of fact, I think that
00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:45.059
we should call it like the Sheldon Cooper effect
00:27:45.059 --> 00:27:47.079
from the Big Bang Theory. The Sheldon Cooper
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:52.059
effect, yes, absolutely. And I think, you know,
00:27:52.059 --> 00:27:54.539
just in terms of character development, I think
00:27:54.539 --> 00:27:57.099
they did a really good job in showing his character,
00:27:57.220 --> 00:28:00.000
learning to embrace the process and the journey
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:02.720
of having friends and relationships along the
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:07.039
way. And not just being so hyper focused on work
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:10.720
and getting his Nobel Prize. So when you're looking
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:15.519
for like friends to hold you accountable, who
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:20.700
would you? like what would you look have them
00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:25.079
how could they possibly help because I know sometimes
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:28.180
when I talk to my parents it is like oh whatever
00:28:28.180 --> 00:28:31.819
this is really important and it's like kind of
00:28:31.819 --> 00:28:37.859
really really important so it depends on what
00:28:37.859 --> 00:28:40.599
it is you're trying to achieve but there's lots
00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:42.500
of different ways like for example for me when
00:28:42.500 --> 00:28:46.200
I was starting my business I joined a group of
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:48.940
other people who were doing solopreneurs right
00:28:48.940 --> 00:28:50.740
people just starting their own businesses and
00:28:50.740 --> 00:28:53.259
we were all doing very different businesses but
00:28:53.259 --> 00:28:55.440
because we were on a similar journey we could
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:57.339
call each other out on like they were able to
00:28:57.339 --> 00:29:00.359
call like Camilla who cares about the effing
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:02.940
funnel if you're not actually talking to anyone
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:06.240
There's no point in having a perfect funnel like
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:08.599
they were able to call me out on. You're trying
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:11.039
to get this so perfectly laid out, but you actually
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:13.619
haven't talked to someone like you're missing
00:29:13.619 --> 00:29:16.680
the whole point. And so it's helpful to have
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:19.480
a group of people if it's something very specific,
00:29:19.700 --> 00:29:24.160
like starting a business or a blog, you know,
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:26.960
even in school, if it's a specific subject area.
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:31.990
But in general, if it's, you know. I'm thinking
00:29:31.990 --> 00:29:34.250
friends and family, you do want to get someone
00:29:34.250 --> 00:29:36.769
who you can trust and you feel safe with. I think
00:29:36.769 --> 00:29:39.349
that that's one of the key things is this needs
00:29:39.349 --> 00:29:42.289
to be a safe person because sometimes people
00:29:42.289 --> 00:29:45.569
do say hurtful things. And so we need, we need
00:29:45.569 --> 00:29:47.490
to know that we're talking to someone who genuinely
00:29:47.490 --> 00:29:50.210
cares about us and has our back because when
00:29:50.210 --> 00:29:52.930
they call us out on something, it means it's
00:29:52.930 --> 00:29:58.390
more meaningful. And someone who like what you
00:29:58.390 --> 00:30:02.660
shared is You know, I keep checking Google every
00:30:02.660 --> 00:30:06.240
day and trying to see where my ranking is. And
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:08.420
my immediate thought is, what are you making
00:30:08.420 --> 00:30:10.900
it mean? Are you making it mean something about
00:30:10.900 --> 00:30:14.259
you? So if you have a friend who can have that
00:30:14.259 --> 00:30:17.940
conversation with you at that level, you are
00:30:17.940 --> 00:30:21.099
so many miles ahead of everyone else in being
00:30:21.099 --> 00:30:23.519
able to have that sounding board and that person
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:27.279
that you can turn to. And if you don't have that
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:30.119
in your life, there's so many groups that kind
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:32.660
of create and form those relationships out there.
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.019
Well, I definitely have. I think there's like
00:30:37.019 --> 00:30:47.240
a lot of names come to mind. And but yeah, definitely.
00:30:49.150 --> 00:30:51.250
I can't believe I finally hit the nail on the
00:30:51.250 --> 00:30:54.109
head. Even out there writing a lot of stuff in
00:30:54.109 --> 00:30:57.829
my journal during the last few months, I still
00:30:57.829 --> 00:31:01.710
can put the puzzle pieces together. But I was
00:31:01.710 --> 00:31:03.750
like, you know, the reason I want to get on top
00:31:03.750 --> 00:31:06.630
of Google is because, like, you see all these
00:31:06.630 --> 00:31:08.930
celebrities out there. No, I'm not comparing
00:31:08.930 --> 00:31:11.250
myself to a celebrity by any means because I'm
00:31:11.250 --> 00:31:16.390
not. I'm not just. That's what we see. But I
00:31:16.390 --> 00:31:20.710
wanted to have my name in the knowledge graph
00:31:20.710 --> 00:31:25.210
to give myself more authority. I mean, not authority
00:31:25.210 --> 00:31:28.450
in a bad way, but just like, oh, he's actually
00:31:28.450 --> 00:31:32.890
a well -known public speaker, a motivational
00:31:32.890 --> 00:31:37.890
speaker. And here's a little bio of myself. And
00:31:37.890 --> 00:31:41.390
I know I can't control any of that, but it just
00:31:41.390 --> 00:31:44.960
kind of makes me like. uh that's like only google
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:48.079
gets to show one they want me no shows i can
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.160
persuade them but i can't do anything about it
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:56.099
yeah and um this theme came up a few times it's
00:31:56.099 --> 00:31:59.079
that control right like i i hear you say i know
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:02.079
i can't control that and that's what perfectionists
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:04.339
right that will do it's like logically i know
00:32:04.339 --> 00:32:08.160
it but feeling like but i still want to try i
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:10.619
know i can't control what they think of me But
00:32:10.619 --> 00:32:12.440
I still want to try to control what they think
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:14.740
of me by doing everything just right and just
00:32:14.740 --> 00:32:16.299
great and perfectly. And they're going to be
00:32:16.299 --> 00:32:19.980
like, wow, this is amazing. And that's one of
00:32:19.980 --> 00:32:22.779
the traps that perfectionists fall into. And
00:32:22.779 --> 00:32:25.359
so one of the ways that I will conceptualize
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:28.920
perfectionism is it's about control. It's you're
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:30.920
trying to control the outcome, right? If I do
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:32.619
everything just right, then it's going to be
00:32:32.619 --> 00:32:34.559
just fine. And I don't need to worry, right?
00:32:34.619 --> 00:32:36.819
This is why perfectionists have a hard time delegating.
00:32:37.500 --> 00:32:39.980
It's about controlling how other people see us.
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:42.400
If I don't make any mistakes and everything is
00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:44.579
perfect, then no one's going to judge me or criticize
00:32:44.579 --> 00:32:46.799
me and they're going to think I'm awesome, right?
00:32:47.059 --> 00:32:51.119
And it's about controlling my own feelings. If
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.839
I do everything and I know it's good enough and
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:56.099
I'm on it, then I don't have to like be anxious
00:32:56.099 --> 00:32:58.900
and I don't have to be stressed because I know
00:32:58.900 --> 00:33:02.299
I'm doing everything. So there's nothing that
00:33:02.299 --> 00:33:05.779
a perfectionist hates more than not being in
00:33:05.779 --> 00:33:08.900
control. not having that control and kind of
00:33:08.900 --> 00:33:12.480
being in the state of uncertainty. And this is
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:14.359
where a lot of people will kind of double down
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:17.119
on their perfectionism in other areas when something
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.180
is out of their control. And that's why like
00:33:20.180 --> 00:33:22.839
one of my other tips that I'll always ask people
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:24.880
this question, and you got to learn to ask yourself
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:27.819
this question is, what am I making this mean?
00:33:28.380 --> 00:33:31.660
Right? I keep checking the Google rankings. What
00:33:31.660 --> 00:33:34.079
am I making it mean about myself? I'm being really
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:37.779
honest. What's the meaning? Because hopefully
00:33:37.779 --> 00:33:40.279
you'll learn to get to this place where you can
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:42.180
accept like, this is something that's out of
00:33:42.180 --> 00:33:45.400
my control. I need to focus on what I can control.
00:33:45.619 --> 00:33:47.660
And that second piece that we've been talking
00:33:47.660 --> 00:33:49.279
about, I need to learn to enjoy the journey,
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:56.539
enjoy the process while I'm at it. And so I was
00:33:56.539 --> 00:34:00.369
curious, how do you know when you start? feeling
00:34:00.369 --> 00:34:03.430
like you're getting burnt out like i know i'm
00:34:03.430 --> 00:34:06.609
feeling kind of burnt out not not from this or
00:34:06.609 --> 00:34:09.929
anything at all uh the podcast interview it's
00:34:09.929 --> 00:34:16.849
more like i don't know let's say uh just because
00:34:16.849 --> 00:34:21.349
i'm doing so many different tasks like uh schoolwork
00:34:21.349 --> 00:34:28.300
homework um blogging I won't say podcasting because
00:34:28.300 --> 00:34:31.800
I enjoyed that, but the blogging, editing and
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:36.679
writing more papers, fun as heck. Yeah. So that,
00:34:36.860 --> 00:34:39.139
oh my gosh, I wish I had an easy answer for that
00:34:39.139 --> 00:34:41.800
because that's one of the problems that perfectionists
00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:44.719
struggle with is not knowing when to stop. Right?
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:47.380
You just you keep doing things, you keep revising
00:34:47.380 --> 00:34:49.500
and learning and preparing and doing more. And
00:34:49.500 --> 00:34:51.559
even after you did something, you keep thinking
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:53.079
over and over about how you could have done it
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:55.679
better, you just don't know when to stop. And
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:59.340
that process of how do I know that I am starting
00:34:59.340 --> 00:35:02.159
to burn out like this is starting to be too much.
00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:06.789
So It's a bit of a trial and error where you
00:35:06.789 --> 00:35:10.150
need to kind of look at your day to day and start
00:35:10.150 --> 00:35:12.489
to judge, like, when am I starting to experience
00:35:12.489 --> 00:35:17.949
consequences? So if you're starting to turn in
00:35:17.949 --> 00:35:20.550
assignments at school late because you put too
00:35:20.550 --> 00:35:22.610
much on your plate and you don't have time to
00:35:22.610 --> 00:35:25.469
get to it, if you're starting to flake out on
00:35:25.469 --> 00:35:28.789
commitments or appointments, if you're not sleeping
00:35:28.789 --> 00:35:31.630
well. Right. Your sleep cycle is completely out
00:35:31.630 --> 00:35:35.070
of whack. Or maybe you're no longer taking the
00:35:35.070 --> 00:35:38.190
time to do the cooking and the meal prep or the
00:35:38.190 --> 00:35:40.329
workout that you used to do regularly. So it's
00:35:40.329 --> 00:35:43.010
going to be different for everyone. But the idea
00:35:43.010 --> 00:35:45.949
here is you got to take stock of your day to
00:35:45.949 --> 00:35:48.849
day and try to figure out trial and error. I
00:35:48.849 --> 00:35:51.369
was like, so for me, I learned, for example,
00:35:51.449 --> 00:35:56.110
that when I start going to bed later and later.
00:35:56.570 --> 00:35:59.269
Like that's one of my personal red flags that
00:35:59.269 --> 00:36:01.750
I'm doing too much. If I'm going to bed after
00:36:01.750 --> 00:36:05.929
midnight, I know from experience that after about
00:36:05.929 --> 00:36:08.369
two weeks, I'm entering burnout zone where I'm
00:36:08.369 --> 00:36:10.949
just short and snappy and irritable with everyone
00:36:10.949 --> 00:36:14.090
around me. So I watch out for that. If my schedule
00:36:14.090 --> 00:36:16.070
is getting so out of hand that I'm going to bed
00:36:16.070 --> 00:36:18.389
after midnight, if I keep that up, I'm going
00:36:18.389 --> 00:36:20.849
to burn out. So I need to kind of slow down and
00:36:20.849 --> 00:36:24.909
reassess. I had another client. she shared that
00:36:24.909 --> 00:36:27.469
like her immediate sign was the more she started
00:36:27.469 --> 00:36:29.969
yelling at her kids. Like that was her sign.
00:36:30.070 --> 00:36:32.369
Like she's yelling at her kids because she's
00:36:32.369 --> 00:36:35.210
already so stressed and so tired with everything
00:36:35.210 --> 00:36:38.050
else she's keeping up with that she has less
00:36:38.050 --> 00:36:42.469
patience. And so that was her sign. There you
00:36:42.469 --> 00:36:46.010
go, right? Who is a little bit of a perfectionist
00:36:46.010 --> 00:36:50.030
that you learn from? And so - The vicious cycle.
00:36:50.369 --> 00:36:52.789
It is a vicious cycle. And so, but that's the
00:36:52.789 --> 00:36:55.320
thing is like, you know, how do I know I'm going,
00:36:55.420 --> 00:36:57.500
I'm headed towards burnout, it's going to be
00:36:57.500 --> 00:37:00.619
different for each person. But it really requires
00:37:00.619 --> 00:37:03.699
you to take a look at your day to day life and
00:37:03.699 --> 00:37:05.739
start to pick up on these patterns of when I
00:37:05.739 --> 00:37:08.940
start to do this behavior, you know, shortly
00:37:08.940 --> 00:37:12.300
thereafter, I burn out. And it takes a bit of
00:37:12.300 --> 00:37:14.500
that trial and error. But you you you'll learn
00:37:14.500 --> 00:37:17.079
very quickly once you start paying attention
00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:20.599
to what's happening. So how long does it take
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:27.239
for one to figure out that they're feeling burnout?
00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:33.199
Because I've had some days where the burnout
00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:38.199
started around like 5 .30ish, 6 o 'clock, around
00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:41.659
7 o 'clock. But sometimes it can also happen
00:37:41.659 --> 00:37:46.940
later or it could just happen from just 5 o 'clock
00:37:46.940 --> 00:37:51.059
to... nine o 'clock and 10 o 'clock and yeah.
00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:54.820
Yeah. You know, that's, that's one of the things
00:37:54.820 --> 00:37:57.239
that, um, I'm so glad you brought this up because
00:37:57.239 --> 00:38:00.199
I see this so often and I know I've done it myself
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:06.039
is as a culture. Um, I'm making some assumptions
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:09.079
here. I'm sorry if this isn't true for everyone.
00:38:09.380 --> 00:38:13.039
But I feel like we live in a culture that values
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:16.659
work. It values that go, go, go, that go -getter,
00:38:16.659 --> 00:38:19.159
someone who's always moving forward and doing
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:25.739
things. There are so many ads these days wherever
00:38:25.739 --> 00:38:29.159
you go. There are ads in movie theaters, on TV,
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:32.500
on radio, and on billboards. So why would you
00:38:32.500 --> 00:38:35.360
want to listen to ads in a podcast? Subscribe

or click on the Premium Podcast link in the show
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:09.159
notes. Now let's get back to the show. In valuing
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:12.760
always staying busy, we get disconnected. We
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:14.920
get disconnected from our bodies, disconnected
00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:18.449
from our feelings. And so it is possible to kind
00:39:18.449 --> 00:39:21.329
of go through the whole day. And it's not until
00:39:21.329 --> 00:39:24.429
the moment you get home and you finally sit down
00:39:24.429 --> 00:39:27.849
that then you feel that wave crashing over you
00:39:27.849 --> 00:39:30.989
of stress and exhaustion. It's almost like you've
00:39:30.989 --> 00:39:33.210
been trying to run ahead of it the whole day
00:39:33.210 --> 00:39:36.130
by just staying busy enough. But when you finally
00:39:36.130 --> 00:39:38.510
slow down and you sit down to eat dinner and
00:39:38.510 --> 00:39:40.469
it's the end of the day, it just hits you like
00:39:40.469 --> 00:39:43.980
a brick wall. Because you weren't paying attention
00:39:43.980 --> 00:39:47.400
to your body and to your feelings and to your
00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:50.539
stress throughout the day. You were kind of disconnected.
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:53.400
I'm not saying you do this. I'm just saying this
00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:57.380
is a pattern that I see quite often. And so the
00:39:57.380 --> 00:40:02.920
bigger the disconnect, the more surprising the
00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:07.440
overwhelm will hit you when it does. the part
00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:09.619
of the process there is actually learning to
00:40:09.619 --> 00:40:12.019
be more mindful, more present, more connected
00:40:12.019 --> 00:40:16.320
with the body throughout the day. Oh, that sounds
00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:23.380
like me. It sounded like me. Yesterday, I was
00:40:23.380 --> 00:40:28.239
working on, actually, I wasn't working on anything.
00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:36.179
I was, yesterday was Tuesday. I was For a reason,
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:42.300
I had an idea to post a specific post on LinkedIn.
00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:46.599
And I was like, would this even be a good fit
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:50.079
for LinkedIn? And I started Googling just random
00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:54.039
questions like, what is an acceptable post for
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:58.000
LinkedIn? Because everybody's like, oh, it's
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:00.119
business -like. You shouldn't post business stuff.
00:41:00.260 --> 00:41:02.420
But then other people say, post personal stuff.
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:08.199
Not too personal stuff, but just share some small
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:12.039
achievements of you and your brand. And I'm like,
00:41:12.219 --> 00:41:16.199
yikes. And then I started doing this around 7
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:20.280
o 'clock. And all of a sudden, I started noticing
00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:23.920
that time was slipping away. And at the time,
00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:27.219
it was at 8 .30. And I was like, That sucks.
00:41:27.579 --> 00:41:29.900
I just raised it now in 30 freaking minutes.
00:41:31.420 --> 00:41:36.000
I mean, that is such a great example of what
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:39.119
perfectionists do, right? I call it going down
00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:41.659
the rabbit hole, right? Should I post this on
00:41:41.659 --> 00:41:45.599
LinkedIn? A non -perfectionist would post and
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:47.679
find out, well, that didn't work. Let me change
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:50.719
it. a perfectionist starts going down the rabbit
00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:52.579
hole of I got to research this and what's the
00:41:52.579 --> 00:41:54.719
right post and oh I need to have this this and
00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:56.559
this and you need to get this brand message okay
00:41:56.559 --> 00:41:58.400
now I need to create the perfect post and I got
00:41:58.400 --> 00:41:59.860
to get the languaging right now I got to get
00:41:59.860 --> 00:42:02.500
just the right image and hours later you're like
00:42:02.500 --> 00:42:05.820
oh my gosh all that time and energy and now I
00:42:05.820 --> 00:42:09.360
am a bit tired and it's like in the long run
00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:12.539
it's the non -perfectionist who's just acting
00:42:12.539 --> 00:42:15.940
taking action and figuring out what works doesn't
00:42:15.940 --> 00:42:19.480
work adjusting to that and moving on they actually
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:23.380
end up moving forward more quickly than a perfectionist
00:42:23.380 --> 00:42:31.900
does jeez oh my goodness i'm i tell you so how
00:42:31.900 --> 00:42:36.679
could somebody get rid of um so in your opinion
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:40.949
how could somebody like what is like the best
00:42:40.949 --> 00:42:44.670
ways to get rid of perfectionist or like very
00:42:44.670 --> 00:42:47.530
limited like yeah is it writing in a journal
00:42:47.530 --> 00:42:51.949
or yeah it's you know a perfectionism is very
00:42:51.949 --> 00:42:55.809
much an internal experience it's how we our brains
00:42:55.809 --> 00:42:58.929
our minds our thoughts work and so writing in
00:42:58.929 --> 00:43:01.610
a journal is definitely a good way to start to
00:43:01.610 --> 00:43:04.329
kind of become more aware of how this is showing
00:43:04.329 --> 00:43:07.929
up in your day -to -day if you're working with
00:43:07.929 --> 00:43:10.619
a coach or someone or a friend that you trust,
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:13.619
they can call you out on certain thoughts. Because
00:43:13.619 --> 00:43:16.900
you'll say like, I have to get this right. You
00:43:16.900 --> 00:43:18.500
mentioned your parents sometimes like, well,
00:43:18.539 --> 00:43:20.960
why is this so important? Like when other people
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:22.940
are saying those things like that, those are
00:43:22.940 --> 00:43:25.119
those little checkpoint moments that are a reminder
00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:27.219
for us to step back and answer for ourselves.
00:43:27.739 --> 00:43:30.880
Why am I doing this? Why is this so important?
00:43:31.380 --> 00:43:33.739
So writing that out in the journal. And then
00:43:33.739 --> 00:43:35.980
that second piece of why am I doing this? Why
00:43:35.980 --> 00:43:38.559
am I so important? I tell all the perfectionists
00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:40.460
I work with, you need to kind of take a step
00:43:40.460 --> 00:43:43.699
back and look at your values. What is it that
00:43:43.699 --> 00:43:47.900
you value, right? It's like, I value making a
00:43:47.900 --> 00:43:50.659
hundred million dollars. I'm like, okay, why?
00:43:51.260 --> 00:43:56.960
Why is that of value to you? It's a good number.
00:43:57.019 --> 00:43:59.719
I'm like, well, because if I had that much money,
00:43:59.920 --> 00:44:03.440
then I would have the freedom and control to
00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:06.300
travel and to spend more time with my family.
00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:09.300
I'm like, okay, now we're getting closer to the
00:44:09.300 --> 00:44:11.599
core value. It's not about having the $100 million.
00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:15.519
It's I believe that if I get that figure, I will
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:17.699
be able to have more time to travel and spend
00:44:17.699 --> 00:44:20.699
with my family. So the true value there isn't
00:44:20.699 --> 00:44:24.099
the dollar figure. It's time to travel and time
00:44:24.099 --> 00:44:27.260
with my family. So it takes a little bit of work
00:44:27.260 --> 00:44:29.219
and self -reflection, but you want to get at
00:44:29.219 --> 00:44:32.920
those core values. Because then when you find
00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:35.500
yourself spinning your wheels in that perfectionism
00:44:35.500 --> 00:44:37.320
and not knowing when to stop and not being able
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:40.559
to let go, that's your checkpoint, right? Why
00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:44.760
am I doing this? And if your why does not line
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:47.519
up with your value, that's a sign that maybe
00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:54.969
you need to stop or slow down or step back. Like
00:44:54.969 --> 00:44:58.710
my parents, even though they told me, I was like,
00:44:58.849 --> 00:45:02.289
well, why is this important? Perhaps those are
00:45:02.289 --> 00:45:09.170
check marks that I don't even know why I'm doing
00:45:09.170 --> 00:45:13.570
some of the stuff I do. But sometimes I don't
00:45:13.570 --> 00:45:19.760
think I could use them as someone I could. hold
00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:21.860
me accountable, because sometimes they start
00:45:21.860 --> 00:45:24.239
agreeing with me, it's like, oh, then just come,
00:45:24.420 --> 00:45:27.079
I mean, not like in a bad way, but it's just
00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:29.860
like, yeah, it's like, oh, well, just finish
00:45:29.860 --> 00:45:31.659
that one project and be done, and it's like,
00:45:31.780 --> 00:45:35.980
that's such great insight, right, oh, that's
00:45:35.980 --> 00:45:38.280
such great insight, and that's a good reminder,
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:41.199
you know, we might need more, it's best to have
00:45:41.199 --> 00:45:43.760
more than one person, right, because different
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:46.420
people will react to different things, they'll
00:45:46.420 --> 00:45:48.400
ask us different questions, different perspectives.
00:45:49.289 --> 00:45:52.190
And certain friends and families might collude
00:45:52.190 --> 00:45:56.050
with us. I see this especially in families where
00:45:56.050 --> 00:45:58.210
they start agreeing with us too much. So maybe
00:45:58.210 --> 00:46:00.789
I need someone else to kind of help me take a
00:46:00.789 --> 00:46:04.750
step back and look at the bigger picture. So
00:46:04.750 --> 00:46:10.349
before we wrap up, where can people find you?
00:46:11.230 --> 00:46:15.170
Yes, I am on Instagram and Facebook and YouTube.
00:46:15.349 --> 00:46:19.210
So just look for at Dr. Camilla Williams. That's
00:46:19.210 --> 00:46:22.869
Camilla with one L. It's Portuguese. It's okay.
00:46:23.510 --> 00:46:27.150
But yeah, I try to post regularly on Instagram,
00:46:27.329 --> 00:46:30.090
just tip videos. If you guys have any questions
00:46:30.090 --> 00:46:33.090
or follow up, please find me there. I'd love
00:46:33.090 --> 00:46:37.210
to answer it. And we definitely should stay in
00:46:37.210 --> 00:46:40.400
touch because maybe you can give me some. Tips?
00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:43.420
Yeah, I'd love to come back. I'm always forgiving
00:46:43.420 --> 00:46:46.159
tips and pointers. You know, I'm just, you know,
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:48.500
being mindful. It's like tips and pointers are
00:46:48.500 --> 00:46:51.980
nice, but it's always easier said than done.
00:46:52.059 --> 00:46:54.059
It's when it comes down to the day -to -day work
00:46:54.059 --> 00:46:55.920
and the consistency that that's where we see
00:46:55.920 --> 00:46:59.500
the real change. Do you have any last minute
00:46:59.500 --> 00:47:05.679
words before we leave? Have a little bit of self
00:47:05.679 --> 00:47:09.260
-compassion. Your perfectionism comes from a
00:47:09.260 --> 00:47:12.559
place of wanting to protect yourself and take
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:15.639
care of yourself. So don't beat yourself up for
00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:17.900
that. There's nothing wrong with it. Just recognize
00:47:17.900 --> 00:47:21.300
it, that it was serving a purpose. And it's usually
00:47:21.300 --> 00:47:23.380
trying to protect us from getting hurt or getting
00:47:23.380 --> 00:47:25.940
our feelings hurt. And just acknowledge that
00:47:25.940 --> 00:47:28.519
and then just take a step back and think through
00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:30.880
how is it serving you and how is it no longer
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:33.239
serving you? And that's a good place to start.
00:47:34.539 --> 00:47:38.619
That's great. Well, it was nice having you on.
00:47:38.780 --> 00:47:44.659
And I definitely found this was very, very helpful.
00:47:45.260 --> 00:47:47.659
And I hope it's very helpful to my listeners.
00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:56.019
Because I definitely feel better. And I definitely
00:47:56.019 --> 00:48:00.199
would love just to throw my phone out the window
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:06.710
tonight. because then I won't stop checking Google
00:48:06.710 --> 00:48:11.489
and everything else. And I probably should throw
00:48:11.489 --> 00:48:14.650
out my Google Home Mini because that's going
00:48:14.650 --> 00:48:17.110
to, because I can just ask her questions too.
00:48:19.050 --> 00:48:22.449
Not to solve, lose the technology. Oh, crap.
00:48:23.329 --> 00:48:25.949
I should have thought this sooner. Well, again,
00:48:26.050 --> 00:48:28.530
thanks for coming on. You're welcome. Thank you.
