Which of the following is not a good step towards take in order to break the cycle of perfectionism -tell yourself you simply have to do better next time -do not focus on your mistakes -take pride in the things you do well -accept that you cannot be perfect.

The correct answer is A. Tell yourself you simply have to do better next time

Explanation:

Perfectionism refers to the idea perfection can be achieved. In most cases, perfectionism is positive because it helps individuals to achieve goals. However, if you are obsessed with being perfect all the time, this leads to unhealthy cycles because even if you try you cannot be perfect, and you will make mistakes.

Breaking this cycle is possible if you accept your mistakes without focusing on them, feel proud about the positive aspects and accept imperfection. However, if you tell yourself you have to do better next time you will keep pushing yourself towards perfection and this would not help you to break the cycle of perfectionism.
