Surviving in the world of overachievers 🙇‍♀️

Published: December 11th 2024, 11:28:02 am

The healthiest thing you can do to yourself in this world of overachievers is stop worrying so much about all the metrics of “success”. And instead focus on being able to do what you love for as long as you can 🌠

Sometimes it feels like simply living a life and enjoying what you do has slowly turned into one of the biggest luxuries in the world.

Making to-do lists, filling them with as many tasks as possible, trying to cross those out the next day and failing to finish them all. Wondering why you can't get this ton done without being overwhelmed or feeling like a failure at the end of the day. Spiraling as a result, thinking that everyone around you seems to have it all together, not realizing it's just an illusion. Blaming your own "lazy" self and trying again the next day, only to fail again and again. Burning out and not being able to perform any tasks whatsoever in the end...

As you can see, I'm no stranger to such practices, and being a prisoner to my own brain of overachiever seems all too familiar, to the point where it feels natural. But it's not natural, nor healthy. So, I also need this reminder at times that hustle culture isn't a culture at all, it's a cult. And in a cult, nobody truly cares about you as an individual or your well-being. Time to break free 🕊️🤍
