What is a bad step to break the cycle of perfection?

Answer 1

To break the cycle of perfection, I would think trying to be perfect would be the worst step. Most things we hope to change about ourselves are habits, meaning things we habitually do, say, feel, think, etc. Almost everyone breaks a habit through trial and error, and also through trying and failing. Habits can take more than a dozen times to 'break' even minimally. That makes some people give up! However, instead of feeling they failed, they should celebrate the things they learned through the efforts.
