Empowerment strategies: Saying no to perfectionism

It's crucial to recognize that when you find yourself in a situation where your personal growth and balance are not being respected, there are alternative paths to explore. Sometimes, the best course of action is to extricate yourself from the current circumstances, while other times, it involves empowering yourself to engage in negotiation and learning.

You have the agency to decline certain commitments and even experiment with setting boundaries. Consider where you can introduce more ease and equilibrium into your life. Occasionally, this may require letting go of the pursuit of perfectionism. For instance, a physician who has taken on numerous responsibilities beyond patient care may need to practice the art of saying no.
