  2. Coping with Perfectionism • Allow more time than you think a project will take. • Set realistic goals but don’t set them in stone. • Start something right now instead of waiting until you’re thoroughly prepared. • Make a conscious effort to realize that your paper, project, etc., cannot be perfect. • Begin your day with your most difficult task or the one you least enjoy.

  3. Coping with Perfectionism • Plan to have fun without feeling guilty. • Keep a diary of your progress. • Remove distractions from your workplace. • Keep a list of backup projects. • Learn to laugh! • Imaginary library of “laugh tapes” • Throw a silly costume party • Do a silly arts-and-crafts project • Call the funniest person you know

  4. Doing creative activities such as music, theater, painting, writing, photography, knitting, or other arts? Participating in sports, clubs, or organizations at school or in your community? Talking with family members or doing other family activities? Doing service or volunteer work in your school or community? Participating in a religious or spiritual community? Watching TV, surfing the Net, or playing computer games? How Do You Spend Your Time?

  5. A Reality Check • Number 1-20 down the left side of a blank sheet of paper. Now list your major accomplishments (No fair using grades, first places, of “best ofs”). • On another blank sheet of paper, number 1-20 and list the events in your life that gave you the most pleasure. • Put your lists together and choose one item from the first list that you believe is worthy of a reward. Then choose something off the second list you’d like to do again as a way of rewarding yourself.

  6. Goal-setting sessions Time management strategies Strategies that teach students to say “no” Successes in new areas that could foster “risk-taking” Support and reward systems to deal with stress Coping with Perfectionism

  7. Sharpen your Heels… Ican tell you the best way to learn to say no is to realize it doesn't feel great, okay? it's like having your legs waxed; it doesn't feel great for about two minutes but after that the benefits are with you for a long time.
