What would be the best sub for perfectionism and analysis paralysis?

no one single sub (except perhaps Executive or Limitless Executive)
stacks though:
AscMogul+Limitless (my personal fav still overall)
Emperor+Limitless (gave me less of a ā€œjitteryā€ feel than AscMogul and Limitless, but I like the jitter sometimes)

Both those stacks get me moving on my projects.

Any sub that promotes taking action.
Executive, Limitless Executive, Ascension, Ascended Mogul, Emperor, Emperor Black, etc.

Perfectionism is also rooted in fear of failure due to low self-esteem. Therefore LBFH or CFW could work.

Ideally, stack an action promoting sub with a self-esteem enhancing or healing sub.

All right thanks.

I see many recommending AscM or Asc, but I rarely see someone recommending just Mogul. Is there any particular reason for that?

Highly depends what your perfectionism is rooted in.

For me productivity titles can backfire and lead me to procrastinate more. Iā€™ve had better luck focusing on why I have perfectionism vs brute forcing myself past it. Sometimes the perfectionism is a survival mechanism you adapted, so your mind will react in fear if you try to overcome it

Perfectionism might also be a subtle addiction (it is for many) trying to cover up trauma, like:

  • Not feeling adequate
  • Impostor syndrome
  • Fear of judgment
    etc

LBFH can heal to love yourself as you are.
Wanted also has a component for accepting and working with imperfections.
RoM & LBFH stacked could be helpful with it also to discover WHY you are like that.

So, I wouldnā€™t specifically say ONE sub is the solution, you gotta go on a path to figuring out where it comes from and try a bunch of subs.

That would help to know, but Iā€™m not sure. I know Iā€™ve had this problem for a long time. My kindergarten teacher told my parents that I was a ā€˜perfectionistā€™.

These are some of the traumas Iā€™ve noticed within me. Iā€™m currently running LBFH along with Asc and GLM, but Iā€™ve yet to see improvement with these. My 5th cycle with this stack will start Sat.

Perfectionism has taken on a lot of different meanings. Speaking from experience as a kid myself with perfectionism it seems rooted in anxiety. I would think back to your childhood, any types of events or treatment from people around you that would make you feel the need to not make mistakes.

For me, the ā€œAscensionā€ part helps me to just ā€œdo it and get it doneā€. Knowing I can always come back later and make something better.

Beats that itch I have to ā€œmake one last tweak before moving onā€ā€¦because I keep finding ā€œone more tweakā€. Ascension in AscMogul helps me get past that.

Chosen from Within is a good start in my opinion
Wanted for acepting imperfections
And maybe Sanguine for carefreeness

Yes, perfectionism is a shadow aspect; so it integrates it.
Also IMO healing subs such as Khan ST1 can be helpful.
