About Us
I spent years chasing what I thought would make me successful.
I've always had high expectations, whether because they were placed on me (I am an eldest daughter), or I placed them on myself. What can I say? I have high standards. Until one day I realized how often I was burning out--and it was pretty frequently.
What do I mean by burn out?
After pouring so much of myself into work and school, my relationships with my partner, family, and friends suffered. I felt like I didn't have much free-time to cultivate friendships or spend time with my family, and that I couldn't afford to not be putting so much time and effort into school and building a career. I didn't have any hobbies, and my answer to "what do you like to do?" always revolved around my career or what I was working on. Don't get me wrong, I love being career-driven. However, not only was it costing me my relationships (especially the one WITH myself), but it was affecting my health.
I was being overworked and I was the one doing it to myself.
I noticed I would get sick every few months, and have days where I dreaded getting out of bed. When I would wake up for the day, I felt immediate anxiety of what had to be accomplished or checked off the "to-do" list. I pushed myself to be so productive. I set deadlines for myself to achieve certain milestones to the point where when I achieved the goal, I didn't enjoy it. My life became constant, relentless striving, working so much because it masked my immense feelings of insecurity in who I am if I'm not "doing" big things out in the world.
