Timestamps:

[00:04:09] – [00:05:22]
Dr. Li encourages listeners to use mindfulness to examine their own tendencies toward comparison and perfectionism.

[00:05:22] – [00:07:05]
She explains how our lives are shaped by our beliefs—if you believe comparison is necessary, you’ll keep doing it. She highlights the trap of relying on external validation.

[00:07:05] – [00:09:51]
Dr. Li notes that comparison is random and often leads to negative self-judgment. She urges listeners to escape this cycle and focus on their own work and growth.

[00:09:51] – [00:11:24]
She suggests starting each workday with self-affirmation and notes the importance of evaluating work based on progress, not perfection or comparison.

[00:11:24] – [00:13:08]
Perfectionism is distinguished from comparison—described as a “trap” that can make work feel suffocating.

[00:13:08] – [00:16:13]
Dr. Li explains the dangers of perfectionism: it limits creativity, wastes time, and sours your mood, ultimately leading to procrastination and avoidance.

[00:16:13] – [00:17:54]
She encourages listeners to let go of fear-driven comparison and perfectionism while maintaining healthy standards and genuine care for their work.

[00:17:54] – [00:18:47]
Dr. Li reassures listeners that external feedback isn’t a judgment of self-worth and invites them to embrace a new, lighter perspective.

[00:18:47] – [00:19:41]
Closing thoughts: a wish for listener success and well-being, encouragement to ask questions, and instructions for submitting them.
