Love is a Law, Not a Reward 22:11

منذ 18 يومًا22:11

22:11

Love as a Law : Love is described as the substance of God’s law, not a reward to be earned. It is a commandment to love God and others unconditionally. Parable of the Prodigal Son : Both sons in the parable misunderstand love as a reward. The younger son feels unworthy, while the elder son feels entitled. The father represents God’s unconditional love. Perfectionism vs. Perfect Love : Perfectionism is seen as a backward approach to love, focusing on being lovable rather than loving perfectly. God’s perfect love is unconditional and not based on merit. Righteous Judgment : True judgment is about how to love others, not about who deserves love. Love should be given freely, even to enemies. Practical Application : The article encourages readers to stop treating love as a reward and start obeying it as a law, participating in the work of loving others without conditions.

Parental Influence on Adolescent Perfectionism by Jenet Jacob Erickson and others 31:42

“Parental Influence on Adolescent Perfectionism” by Jenet Jacob Erickson, Olivia Forsberg, and McKenna Schmidt. Published BYU Studies 63 no. 4 (2024). Key Points: Parental Influence: Parents' own perfectionism can impact their children, especially through modeling behaviors and psychological control. Fathers' and mothers' perfectionism influences boys and girls differently. Psychological Control: Psychological control, such as withdrawing love and shaming, is strongly linked to the development of toxic perfectionism, particularly in girls. Fathers' psychological control has a significant impact on daughters' perfectionism. Family Dynamics: Family chaos and disengagement are predictors of higher levels of toxic perfectionism in youth. Boys are more affected by family chaos, while girls are more affected by family rigidity. Parenting Styles: Authoritarian parenting combined with psychological control can lead to toxic perfectionism. Authoritative parenting, which balances high standards with warmth and responsiveness, is considered ideal. Cultural Factors: Cultural changes, such as competitive individualism and meritocracy, contribute to the rise in perfectionism among young adults. Recommendations: Parents should focus on creating a supportive and flexible family environment. Emphasizing unconditional love and acceptance can help mitigate the development of toxic perfectionism in children.

What is perfectionism? Does healthy perfectionism exist? What are the consequences of toxic perfectionism? This article by G. E. Kawika Allen, Jacelin Clayton, Emma Moore, and Debra Theobald McClendon explores perfectionism and scrupulously as it pertains to Latter-day Saints. Key Points: Definition and Impact: Perfectionism can motivate growth or stifle it, leading to low self-worth and negative behaviors. Toxic perfectionism involves demanding perfection and being highly critical of oneself or others. Healthy Perfectionism: This involves setting high goals and striving for rewards while being flexible and understanding if expectations are not met. It is linked to responsibility, hard work, and thoroughness. Toxic Perfectionism: Distinguished by a fear of mistakes, toxic perfectionism can be self-oriented, other-oriented, or socially prescribed. It often leads to feelings of hopelessness and personal failure. Types of Toxic Perfectionism: Self-Oriented: Demanding perfection of oneself with irrationally high goals. Other-Oriented: Demanding perfection from others, leading to strained relationships. Socially Prescribed: Believing one must be perfect for someone else, leading to low self-esteem and a need for validation. Consequences: Toxic perfectionism is associated with poor physical health, anxiety, depression, and other psychological disorders. It can lead to constant feelings of fear and harsh personal criticism. Causes: Factors include high societal expectations, controlling parenting styles, and conditional parental love. Societal trends show increasing rates of perfectionism among younger generations. Perfectionism and Religion: The article explores the intersection of perfectionism and religion, highlighting both positive and negative impacts on mental health within religious contexts.

منذ 8 weeks18:51

18:51

BYU Studies 63 no. 4 (2024) focuses on Latter-day Saints and perfectionism. This introduction by Justin Dyer sets the stage for an exploration of the nuanced relationship between faith and perfectionism. Key points: Introduction to Perfectionism: The article begins by addressing the common perception that Latter-day Saints struggle with perfectionism due to their religious beliefs. Research Findings: Contrary to popular belief, recent research shows that Latter-day Saints are less likely to experience unhealthy levels of perfectionism compared to other groups.

Impact on Mental Health: The research highlights the negative psychological and emotional consequences of toxic perfectionism, especially among youth. Religious Influence: The study explores how religion and religious salience (the importance of religion to a person's sense of self) relate to levels of toxic perfectionism.
