Can anyone recommend helpful resources, techniques or anything else that has helped them with overcoming perfectionism? I've been struggling with mine a lot lately.

Perfectionism often stems from fear of failure and rejection. If this applies, start with loving and accepting yourself. Do not solely derive your worth, esteem and identity from within and not have them dependent on others’ fickle opinions or worse - what you think others think of you.

Meditation. Spiritual connectedness. Doing kind and esteemable acts for others. Finding the joy in your own life and pursuing what makes you happy.

Let's start here, what is perfection to you OP? How has that manifested into your work and processes?

My perfectionism makes me anxious and unhappy. It makes me fixate on success and performing optimally in all aspects of life. It makes me a control freak. I'm unemployed and a recent grad. I need to adapt my mindset, accept the fact that I won't be able to achieve what I thought I would bc of this pandemic, and come up with a different plan. The perfectionism just makes me unnecessarily hard on myself and hinders me in certain respects.
