I never would have described myself as a 'perfectionist' (and I'm not sure it's helpful to label ourselves with such things anyway), but a few situations have cropped up lately where I have noticed myself trying to get EVERYTHING right!

Not wanting to upset anyone.

Wanting to do the right thing.

Afraid of making a mistake.

Worrying about how I could be perceived.

It was pretty stressful and led to a lot of anxious feelings and frustration.

Many people I work with experience a lot of anxiety (no surprise I'm sure). It's the main topic of conversation, and I understand why. Anxiety is uncomfortable and loud.
