Ever get anxious when you can’t accomplish all the tasks on your agenda?
Do you often see your accomplishments as not good enough?
Worrying too much about what’s ahead?
There is a sharp difference between excellence and perfectionism. Excellence sets high but realistic goals, leaving room for growth and change, while perfectionism demands impossible, and often destructive, standards. Come explore the ways in which you can beat worries, stop second-guessing yourself, and work with confidence with Vaden Staff Psychologist Oliver Lin, Ph.D.
Date: Thursday November 1
Time: 5:30 – 6:30 pm (Dinner provided)
Where: Asian American Activities Center Couchroom (located on the 2nd floor of Old Union Clubhouse)
