Every word. >>That if we just work hard enough, give enough, achieve enough, we’ll finally feel peace.<<
I was able to leave my grind back in LA and moved to Mexico where life is a lot slower and I've learned to live off less... wrote an article and book about this transition here:
but I'm still falling into the rut of wanting more, achieving more - from remote digital work etc.
I'll answer your prompt #1 - I'm stuck in both - The Strong Woman Trap (hyper-independence & burnout) and The Perfectionist (control & overachieving as safety)
I'll be taking a look at this internally, thank you for this post!
Hi Cyn! Thanks for sharing! These patterns are engrained in our psyche - we were conditioned from such an early age - it's no wonder that these habits and patterns are hard to break. But I'll tell you, awareness is the first step. Good for you on making that big leap and putting yourself in an environment where you could put yourself first! I can't wait to check out your stack!
This hit me in the gut.
