E88: Overachievers, Fear, & Fulfillment | LCWTJ

On this episode, we will be speaking about overachieving and its association with fear. While most may deem it admirable for a person to work diligently in their profession and even being reliable in their personal life, oftentimes the underlying driving force of that diligence may be fear. If you had a chance to check out the latest Quick Read article on tashimajones.com you are more aware of how overthinking and overreacting are closely linked with one another and are common causes in becoming overwhelmed. Let’s discover ways to rise above overachieving by scaling back in order to enjoy your personal and professional life a bit more every day.

LifeWork

Based on this session, set aside at least 10 minutes, and begin to reflect on and consider the following: 

  Are you an overachiever? Is your self-worth (again, how you see and value yourself) based on performance and external possessions? Does performance impact your emotions, self-perception, and how you show up in the world? Do you work harder out of fear of previous life events? Were you expected to take care of yourself and others at a young age or looked to as the one to lead and manage those around you?

Are you motivated by fear or expected to not make a mistake? Do you have the habit of not asking for help and difficulty with setting and sticking to boundaries?

  Have you achieved most of what you desired yet still feel unfulfilled? Do you experience burnout or restlessness on a regular basis but feel as if you haven’t accomplished much? Are you anxious about resting and taking day to relax?

  Are you able to identify moments in time when you made a pact with yourself to sacrifice rest in order to achieve? Do you have more than what you can realistically accomplish in a day on your to-do list for the day? Do you get frustrated when you don’t complete your to-list on the same day? When you do complete your to-do list do you add on more tasks or take that time to relax

As you reflect on the questions above, consider healthy resolutions to the fear and hypersensitivity and begin to value yourself within by recognizing that you are truly priceless and not amount of work or material wealth can change that.

Be sure to journal your experience. And feel free to share that experience in the comment section.
