If you said True to any of these statements, you may have some negative perfectionism.

So if you’re a negative perfectionist, how can you learn to turn the tables and be a positive perfectionist? How can you challenge yourself with high expectations and goals and still feel good about yourself, even if you can’t meet them all? How can you accept your strengths—and your weaknesses—as the total, perfect package of you? The answer to these questions makes perfect sense: it’s all about how you use your perfectionism.

As you learn to channel your perfectionism in a positive direction, instead of using it to punish yourself or put yourself down, you’ll be able to pursue your goals with persistence and success. You’ll be able to see that positive perfectionism isn’t so much about never having a flaw or never making a mistake. Rather it’s about working hard, following your passion, accepting support and constructive criticism from others, and having faith in yourself and your own special abilities.

Here are the stories of three girls who have learned how to direct their perfectionism in positive ways. They all use their Special Statements to turn self-criticism into self-acceptance and self-motivation. Try some of their ideas! See if they can help you to do the same!
