Being too self-critical

It is healthy to realize the mistakes we make in our work, which allows us to maintain optimal quality in what we do, and, in the results, we deliver to others.

However, being self-critical, it goes from right to wrong when it is carried out in excess.

• When we see imperfections in everything we do

• When we frequently stop to see if what we are doing is well done

• When we discard the work done because it is below what we can afford

• When we always see flaws and are unable to find good things in our work

• When we compare our work and abilities with others

The problem with being overly self-critical is that it stops us in our activities and learning. It is self-sabotage to our full potential.

What if we do things better without so much criticism, as if we were shaping a piece of clay to which we are giving shape, not which we want perfect from the start?

If we dare to make mistakes, the learning that we obtain from it will result in committing less of those errors every day.

If on the contrary, we pretend that things are perfect from the beginning, they never will be!
