IMO the trick is to not compare yourself negatively with some ideal that you haven't achieved. Let it be like a guiding goal but understand that it is out of reach. Instead try to positively compare yourself with previous stages where you thought things were not as good. You can also engage in both of these mental exercises side-by-side.
I think people who have trouble with perfectionism are likely fixated on negative comparisons and don't allow themselves to feel good for where they are at current time and what they have done.
I feel like self-acceptance and self-empathy are very important to practice for 1s.
