What if the real reason you keep restarting your goals isn’t about discipline — but about how uncomfortable it feels to watch yourself do the journey imperfectly?
In this episode, I’m naming something I call perfectionist resetting — a hidden form of perfectionism that keeps us chasing clean slates instead of staying in the process long enough, messy enough, to actually cross the line.
If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like you had to start over every time things got messy, this episode is for you.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why perfectionist resets feel almost compulsive — and why recognizing the pattern matters.
- How shifting from clean slate thinking to completion thinking can give you a real shot at achieving big goals that once felt impossible.
Why It Matters:
With perfectionist resetting, it’s the compulsion — the deep discomfort with doing the journey imperfectly — that drives the cycle of starting over and burning out.
Perfectionist resetting keeps you stuck restarting.
Persistent progress is what moves you forward — even when the path is messy — and finally gives you a real shot at succeeding.
