This document discusses the pitfalls of perfectionism and how to avoid them. It defines perfectionism as a collection of thoughts and behaviors focused on achieving impossible standards of perfection. Perfectionism can lead to problems like depression, binge eating, and procrastination. The document recommends mindfulness techniques to avoid judgmental thoughts, focusing on positives rather than negatives, and aiming for average outcomes on tasks rather than perfection. Engaging in fun activities without competition and leaving some tasks undone each day can also help combat perfectionism.

5. Homework assigned asking students to write a paper comparing two articles about intelligent design and evolution.
Cognitive distortions are simply ways that Impostor Syndrome convinces us to believe things that aren’t really true.
These are inaccurate thought patterns that reinforce our negative self perception and keep us feeling bad about ourselves
This document outlines 15 common cognitive distortions: all-or-nothing thinking, overgeneralizing, mental filtering, discounting positives, jumping to conclusions, magnifying/minimizing, emotional reasoning, "should" statements, blaming, labeling, personalization, always being right, fallacy of change, control fallacy, and fairness fallacy. It provides examples and explanations of each distortion to help the reader identify thinking patterns that may negatively impact emotions and behaviors. The goal is to recognize distorted thinking in order to intentionally change emotions and behaviors.
The document provides five thoughts on finding balance in life as a lawyer and woman. It discusses defining success on one's own terms rather than by external standards, embracing vulnerability rather than always needing to be right, trusting intuition in addition to logic, listening rather than always problem-solving for others, and cultivating an abundance mindset rather than one of scarcity. The accompanying book review discusses a book on the myth of women having successful careers and families, finding an imbalance still exists for many successful women who take on a "second shift" of domestic duties.
1) Critical thinking is an important skill that can help people make better decisions and avoid negative consequences. Failing to think critically often leads to bad outcomes for the decision-maker and others.
2) After the 2008 financial crisis, there is a greater appreciation for higher education being a public good that benefits society, rather than just a private good for individuals. Teaching people critical thinking skills helps equip them to improve their lives and contribute to society.
3) Defining critical thinking requires considering examples of strong and weak critical thinking to understand what it is and what it is not. An international group of experts tried to form a consensus on the definition by discussing who they considered to be good critical thinkers.
This summary provides an overview of critical thinking and how it has been defined by experts over the past 100 years:
1. Critical thinking has been studied formally for over 100 years, beginning with John Dewey's concept of "reflective thinking" which he defined as the careful consideration of beliefs and knowledge based on supporting reasons and implications.
2. Later experts like Edward Glaser and Robert Ennis built on Dewey's definition, emphasizing skills like reasoning, examination of evidence, and decision making.
3. Richard Paul's definition focused on "thinking about one's thinking" or metacognition, and aiming to improve the quality of thinking based on intellectual standards. Developing critical thinking requires consciously evaluating

This document summarizes Freud's view of dreams and the evolution of his theoretical approach. It discusses:
1) Freud initially viewed dreams as reflections of biological-psychological mechanisms that are universal. He analyzed individual dreams to develop broader theories, similar to studying specimen morphology.
2) Freud later abandoned direct anatomical descriptions and illustrations, instead using conceptual diagrams unrelated to physical structures. He developed metaphorical models of mental structures like the ego and id.
3) Freud's theoretical shift recognized that dreams reflect cognitive limitations during sleep rather than serving as occult messages. It moved his work from proposed neurological explanations to interpretive hermeneutics using metaphorical reasoning.

This journal entry discusses confirmation bias and how it can negatively impact decision making. Confirmation bias is the tendency to seek out and give more weight to information that confirms preexisting beliefs, and ignore or undermine contradictory information. The entry provides an example of how confirmation bias can cause investors to make poor decisions by only seeking out information that confirms their views on an investment and failing to consider different perspectives. Overcoming confirmation bias requires open-mindedly seeking out contradictory opinions to make better informed choices. The entry concludes that confirmation bias limits opportunities by focusing only on views that agree with preexisting opinions.
Speaking up is hard to do.
You see something ethically questionable. Notice someone not being included. Run up against offensive speech. Disagree with an opinion that’s all too quickly become consensus. Want to add a different idea to the decision-making process.
While we’d all like to think that if we saw something, we’d say something in these situations, we are strikingly bad at anticipating how we’ll feel in future circumstances and, for a whole host of cognitive reasons, it can be incredibly difficult to speak up in the moment. In fact, research suggests that most people tend to not act, and then rationalize their inaction.

This document provides an overview of various perceptual processes involved in perceiving other people. It begins with a self-test to assess one's accuracy in people perception. The test examines tendencies such as implicit personality theories, self-fulfilling prophecies, perceptual accentuation, primacy-recency effects, consistency biases, and stereotyping. The document then discusses each of these concepts in more detail, explaining how they can influence perceptions and potentially lead to inaccurate impressions if not accounted for critically. It concludes with suggestions for developing other-orientation to improve interpersonal effectiveness and form more accurate perceptions.
This document summarizes 13 mindsets that can contribute to procrastination and lack of motivation, as described by Dr. David Burns. These mindsets include hopelessness, helplessness, feeling overwhelmed, jumping to conclusions, self-labeling, undervaluing rewards, perfectionism, and fears of failure, success, disapproval, coercion, frustration, guilt, and self-blame. The document provides brief descriptions of each mindset and how it can negatively impact motivation. It concludes by noting that avoidance causes anxiety while exposure can cure anxiety.

Chapter 2: Decision Making—The Surprising Reasons People Say Yes and No
Picking his way through the cramped ballroom, with people-filled padded chairs all askew, there was no clear route. Obstacles,
however, were not this man’s primary concern. On his face, you could see his mind racing—searching for what he would say
once he was in front of the crowd. Few people like public speaking, but this situation seemed even more torturous than usual.
He found his standing spot, turned, and faced the crowd.
“I have traveled three hours round-trip every day to attend this session. I’ve driven dangerous roads and in heavy traffic. You
are a talented and knowledgeable group. I have learned from you, and you have learned from me. And I sure could use the
money to help pay for gas. Please, please. Pick me!”
That scene played out in a Calgary persuasion workshop during which I asked three volunteers to vie for a single, crisp $100
bill by convincing the audience to individually award them the money. The idea: Whoever makes the most compelling case,
winning the affections of the crowd, walks away with the cash and the bragging rights.
Participants are allowed to make their case in any way they deem appropriate, with one exception: They can’t share the money
or materially benefit the crowd in any way. (I’ll buy you all drinks!) Adding to the pressure, I give them just four minutes to
develop their case and only 25 seconds to present it.
What would you say if you were in this situation?
This activity mirrors business life today in many ways. You are often in competition with others for the account, the promotion,
the project. You must think on your feet and be able to put together compelling arguments fast, and you might not have much
time to state your case. Sometimes you need to do all this—especially in peer-to-peer persuasion situations—without offering
your target some sort of material gain. Not an easy assignment, to be sure.
The most interesting aspect of this workshop activity, though, is not the people vying for the money—it’s the people deciding
who will earn the money. You may think that people are carefully analyzing participants’ arguments, weighing the pros and the
cons to rationally decide who gets their votes. That’s not what’s happening. At all. The surprising truth is that most people have
no idea why they say yes.

Some strategies include looking for the good in people, putting oneself in others' shoes, stopping gossip, believing in oneself, and cultivating compassion. Once judgmental tendencies are recognized, one can make a conscious effort to change this self-destructive behavior by adopting a more positive outlook.

Stressful Thinking
Stress is the “wear and tear” our bodies experience as we adjust to our continually
changing environment; it has physical and emotional effects on us and can create positive
or negative feelings. As a positive influence, stress can help compel us to action; it can
result in a new awareness and an exciting new perspective. As a negative influence, it can
result in feelings of distrust, rejection, anger and depression, which in turn can lead to
health problems, heart disease, and stroke. With the death of a loved one, the birth of a
child, a job promotion, or a new relation, we experience stress as we adjust our lives to
these changes.
Why do different people react differently to the same stress situation? Why do similar life
events evoke such varying reactions as depression, anxiety, hostility, elation, and even
indifference? The answer points to one of the most powerful and useful notions in stress
management: our experience of stress is influenced by our thoughts and perceptions. In
technical terms, our cognitions influence our reactions to stress.

A thought occurred to me on my journey to my hometown. When I stood as a third person to analyze my thought magic happened; I realized that what occurred to me is common as an individual. I asked these questions to me:
1. What happens when an Adversity strikes?
2. Do we really have the power to overcome this?
3. What do we do to control this?
4. Can a solution to an outcome be applied to all?
These were some of the basic questions which struck me while I was penning down my thoughts on writing this book.
The document discusses the halo effect and how it can impact perceptions and relationships. An experiment was conducted showing two videos of the same person - one upbeat and one negative - to see if first impressions influenced perceptions. Studies found that brief silent clips of professors were enough for students to form opinions of their abilities that matched end-of-semester evaluations. The halo effect causes people to ignore new facts that contradict initial judgments due to relying on "mental shortcuts." This cognitive bias can damage relationships by causing people to deceive themselves about others based on first impressions.

What are your basic assumptions about human nature?
My basic assumption about human nature is that even though none of us are perfect, we all strive for our own idea of perfection. By working too much towards how we think we should be it can cause stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues and often these are the root cause of them. Humans are beautifully imperfect and while, yes, oftentimes we all have behaviors to be altered, we need to embrace ourselves with love and kindness. It is easy to give someone else our love, patience and kindness, but if we turn that inward we can be the best version of ourselves, perfect or not.
Which approach to therapy is closest to your beliefs about human nature?
The therapy that is closest to my beliefs about human nature is existential therapy. "Existential therapy focuses on exploring themes such as mortality, meaning, freedom, responsibility, anxiety, and aloneness as these relate to a person’s current struggle." (Corey, 2013). Existential therapy looks at the bigger picture of humanity and encourages celebration and appreciation of our successes rather than focusing on downfalls.
In what ways do you believe that your basic assumptions might determine the procedures that you would use when working with clients?
My basic assumptions will help me to focus on the good in my clients and not the negative that they themselves may focus on. It will give me a better understanding of why people feel their own shortcomings and how to show them that there is good and valuable qualities in everyone.
Monique post
When you look into the mirror, you are checking how you appear, and how you feel and whether it matches. Human nature is the sum of our whole species looking in the mirror. Human nature includes 3 core characteristics shared by all individuals; feelings, behaviors, and psychology. Our experiences with humans are different. Some view humans as good or bad or capable of great kindness. These views can be clouded by what our culture tells us and by people's influences in our lives. In western cultures, our discussions usually begin with classical Greece; Aristotle and Plato (Claudia, 2021).
My basic assumptions about human nature is that we can survive from our past and that humans are generally kind creatures and extremely resilient. I believe that humans construct their reality. They do not have to be destined to a certain life based solely on their past circumstances. We have the ability to overcome mountains of challenges with proper thinking and behaviors. We are responsible creatures for our choices and can therefore change and become something. I am proof of these assumptions. My teenage years were so bad that I lost my identity and lacked the proper social developments that most teens have. According to Corey, (2013.
The document summarizes the results of a StrengthsFinder assessment for an individual named John Grubbs. It identifies his top five signature themes: Strategic, Analytical, Intellection, Relator, and Consistency. For each theme, it provides a brief description of how that theme is expressed in the individual's behaviors and way of thinking. The assessment suggests that understanding one's signature themes can help maximize talents and strengths to achieve success through consistent performance.

The Social Self
Who are you? How did you determine who you are? Do humans differ in this respect from other animals? The
concept of the self has been something that psychologists and laypeople alike have attempted to explain.
Early investigation into these questions led Gordon Gallup to place animals in front of a mirror with red dye on
part of their faces. Some animals, like great apes and dolphins, noticed that their image had changed when
placed in front of a mirror, indicating that they have self-recognition, or an understanding that one is a
separate entity from others and objects in the world (Heinzen & Goodfriend, 2019). When does self-
recognition occur in human
infants? Self-recognition develops
in human infants at around the
age of 2, and it continues to
develop across the lifespan. At
first, this concept is concrete and
focused on observable
characteristics (e.g., I have brown
hair) then becomes more abstract
(e.g., I consider myself religious)
and focused on psychological
characteristics (e.g., I am nice) in
childhood and adolescence. How
would you describe yourself right
now? Now think about how you
would have described yourself
when you were four. It might be
hard to remember, but at age 4,
many of you probably described
yourselves in terms of
observational characteristics.
How do you come to even know what descriptors fit you? This relates to the term self-concept, which is the
personal summary of who we believe we are, and it can be acquired through many sources as noted by
Heinzen and Goodfriend (2019). For example, you can rely on other people to provide self-knowledge. You
can come to know yourself by comparing yourself to others on abilities, traits, and attitudes. This is known as
social comparison theory. You make social comparisons when you have little information available, and you
typically compare yourself to others who are similar to you. However, you do not always do this. Some ...
1) The document provides 6 ways to build self-confidence, including taking care of your body through diet, exercise, meditation and sleep.
2) It recommends being kind to yourself through self-compassion and positive self-talk instead of negative self-talk.
3) Facing fears directly is suggested as a way to build confidence through experience overcoming challenges.
The document discusses the importance of critical thinking and developing good thinking skills. It aims to enable students to understand what thinking is, reflect on classes, develop the habit of learning through critical thinking, and understand why regular thinking and critically evaluating situations is important for becoming a leader. It defines thinking and covers concept formation, problem solving, learning, memory, and more. It explains that understanding human life involves understanding thinking, as thinking allows us to make sense of the world. Everything we know, believe, want, fear, and hope for is determined by our thinking.
1. The Pitfalls of Perfectionism and How to Avoid Them 1

The Pitfalls of Perfectionism and How to Avoid Them
My interest in this topic began with the message inside of a fortune cookie which
initially did not make a lot of sense to me. The fortune read: “Perfect is the enemy of
good,” and while it was confusing at first, it was actually a revelation to me about how
one can improve his or her life simply by doing things well rather than agonizing over the
minor details and imperfections. I initially thought that it was a misprint or that
something was lost in translation. “Why settle for good when you can go for perfection?”,
I asked myself. After discussing the quote with some of my co-workers and with a little
help from Google, we determined that it was no mistake, it was actually a very great way
to look at things. A helpful analogy I formed while pondering my fortune is that of a
touchdown in a football game. Whether a quarterback launches a tightly spiraled 60 yard
bomb to his wide receiver, or a running back runs it in from 1 yard out, it’s still 6 points
on the scoreboard. It’s funny how something as seemingly insignificant as a Chinese
fortune cookie message can contain such a powerful message!
When this topic came up in class, I knew immediately that I would like to explore
the understanding of the psychological pitfalls of perfectionism, and how to avoid this
negative philosophy at all costs. In this paper, I will first establish a working definition of
“perfectionism” based on my sources as well as my own personal understanding of it.
Afterwards I will discuss why it is not a helpful way to both look at life and the and to
overcome the challenges one faces while living. It’s not very useful to explain why
something is bad and then not offer a better way to do things; therefore I will also discuss
ways to avoid thinking those perfectionist thoughts and some useful activities to combat
2. The Pitfalls of Perfectionism and How to Avoid Them 2
the negativity. I looked at a couple of psychological studies on how perfectionism leads
to other problems as well, such as depression and binge eating. Finally, I will seek to
apply these findings to my own life as a means to aid me in better overcoming and
interpreting the challenges of life.
Perfectionism is a collection of thoughts and behaviors that are associated with a
pressing need to achieve an impossible standard of perfection. Ann Smith provides some
important indicators of perfectionism: avoidance of stillness and quiet, placing excessive
demands on your time and energy, feeling like you are never doing enough, obsessing
about the details of a task and overwhelming ourselves with its enormity, and being
frustrated with and criticizing the imperfections of others (1990). If two or more of these
indicators apply to someone, they are probably a perfectionist. It is normal to try to be the
best you can be, but, “This desire to be superhuman only becomes a problem when we
begin to believe that perfection is actually possible-even necessary-for self esteem, peace
of mind and acceptance by others.” (Smith, 1990). In other words, if trying to be the best
at everything becomes a compulsion; it’s time to think about making some changes in
your life for the sake of your own personal happiness. But how does a perfectionist
behave and think differently than a “normal person”? To demonstrate I will give an
example of something we all can relate to; procrastination. Mallinger and DeWyze assert
that perfectionists, “tend to procrastinate because all tasks look large when they have to
be done flawlessly.“ (1992). In other words they procrastinate not because there are other
things in their lives they would rather do, but because every minute task involved in an
activity seems like a mountain of hard work. This makes it hard for them to break it
down into small parts, and they make things out to be harder than they really are until
3. The Pitfalls of Perfectionism and How to Avoid Them 3
they seem impossible (Smith, 1990).It is very hard to avoid perfectionism in this country
especially, because it, “is exacerbated by a society which feeds in the belief that we can
and should improve on any flaw-whether it is our laundry detergent, skin tone, parenting
or lovemaking,” asserts Smith (1990) In a country where commerce in king, there are a
lot of opportunities to exploit and even reinforce our attachment to this understanding of
perfectionism. If your house isn’t perfectly scented you can buy automatic air fresheners.
If your child isn’t behaving in a perfect way, buy them pills that turn them into smiling
little automatons! If your house isn’t perfectly decorated for Christmas, you can buy
these tacky inflatable lawn ornaments! This can lead to people thinking, “If I don’t have
X. I will be unhappy and not as perfect as the person that has X”. This collection of
behaviors and thoughts is very common in the United States not only because we as a
people are always striving for greatness, but also because our culture of consumption
actively encourages buying things in the hope that they will aid our pursuit of an
impossible standard of perfection.
In a 2010 study at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, researchers attempted to
make a connection between depression and perfectionism. They had 240 university
students keep track of incidents of catastrophic thinking, difficulty accepting the past, and
depressive symptoms for four weeks (Graham et al., 2010). The data they collected
supports the Existential Model of Perfectionism and Depressive Symptoms (EMPDS),
which hypothesizes that, “perfectionist concerns confer risk for depressive symptoms
both though catastrophic interpretations that magnify small setbacks into big obstacles
and though negative views of life experiences as unacceptable, dissatisfying, and
meaningless.“ (Graham et al., 2010). Students that were identified as perfectionists were
4. The Pitfalls of Perfectionism and How to Avoid Them 4
at a statistically significant higher risk for depressive symptoms than students who were
not identified as perfectionists.
Sherry and Hall sought to establish a connection between perfectionism and binge
eating in a study they did in 2009. They had 566 female psychology students complete
personality scales in a lab and then the students completed an 88 question, internet based,
structured diary once a day for 7 days (Sherry & Hall, 2009). Their data indicated that
individuals who were high in Socially Prescribed Perfectionism (SPP) were at a higher
risk for binge eating because their perception that others are demanding perfection of
themselves generates conditions in their lives that are triggers for binge episodes (Sherry
and Hall, 2009). Since they are very preoccupied with what other people think of their
eating habits, the stress they put on themselves by controlling their eating all the time
eventually bursts like a dam into a great deluge of eating.
In order to apply what I have learned to my personal stress management plan, I’ll
look at some cognitive/behavioral exercises to avoid perfectionist thoughts and behavior
in my life. Mallinger and DeWyze suggest that you, “catch yourself as often as possible
thinking judgmental thoughts and notice how unpleasant the feeling is…then notice that
having made the observation is doing you no good, it hurts and has few redeeming
qualities compared to problems it causes.” (1992). This goes along with the concept of
mindfulness, which we covered in class; if I start noticing whenever I have a
judgmental/perfectionist thought about myself or others and how unpleasant it is, I can
condition myself to stop having those thoughts since it is human nature to avoid that
which we do not find pleasurable. Mallinger and DeWyze also ask that you, “…don’t
cripple your relationships out of a need to be preoccupied with what’s wrong; it is just as
5. The Pitfalls of Perfectionism and How to Avoid Them 5
easy to focus on what’s right with practice.” (1992). As we learned in class, the more you
think a certain way, the easier it becomes because your brain actually configures itself to
more efficiently think our most common thoughts! In my stress management plan I can
catch myself whenever I feel that something is wrong or unacceptable and try to think
about what is right in it.
Two of the authors I read also provided some activities and ways of thinking that
can assist me in better managing the stress that comes from perfectionism. Smith
provides a plethora of examples of activities you can do to combat perfectionism: “take a
walk on a rainy day, stepping in puddles along the way; play crazy games for laughs not
competition; deliberately leave something undone every day; reflect with pride at the end
of the day on how well you let go of it; make a list of things you have no intention of
doing and don’t do them; stop and build fun into your day,” all of these seem like great
suggestions (1990). Another suggestion is to “Aim for Average”, where you, “imagine
what a B- in the task would be, and then do it only that well,” Mallinger and DeWyze
suggests that this will make certain tasks take less time and seem less difficult (1992). A
good example of applying this idea is if I had a bunch of emails from friends I could give
myself 5 minutes to type a very average email for each friend; that will mean one less
email to compose and my friend will be happy to know I am thinking of him or her.
