the Pitta-Rajas framing of perfectionism finally gave me a framework I could work with. my pattern fits exactly intense planning, self-criticism, difficulty delegating.

the article recommends reducing activity load. for a professionsl in a high-pressure role, this advice is difficult to implement. more nuanced guidance on in-the-moment Rajas reduction would help.

The point about perfectionism generating shame spirals — where the failure to meet your own standard triggers another round of overeffort — is the part of this article I think deserves more attention. The Ayurvedic lens on it as aggravated Rajas rather than a character flaw is a genuinely different way of approaching it.
