Do you love to under promise and over deliver? Love certifications? Have to achieve the next best thing? You may have overachiever syndrome. I had it too…..

 In the past…

There I was laying on the couch feeling  exhausted. My body had enough, my mind was shot and I had a two-year-old running around.

 That was a time in my life when I had 3 jobs, I was constantly working and raising a child.

I had literally worked myself sick.

 I would have a goal, work really hard to achieve it and then I found and I still wasn’t satisfied

 so then I picked a new goal 

I was constantly seeking in achieving, Yet still feeling like my efforts weren’t enough I was so focused on getting to the next thing

Around  the same time I also started getting into personal growth, development and diving deeper into spirituality 

 Again I noticed the same pattern appearing

There was always something to strive for, learn, master get to the next level of achievement 

After many years I realized how exhausted I was 

I was overwhelmed and not able to enjoy the moment or be present 

I couldn’t celebrate my success because I was so focused on what was next 

When is enough enough? It was an endless game.

I was tired of getting triggered or set off

I noticed I was frustrated, apathetic 

and the feelings of doubt and  lack all pointed to feeling like not enough and too much all at the same time. Who I was just didn’t feel like enough. I was not accepting enough ownership over my experiences. I was distracting myself with the next accolade. I was seeking outside of myself for what I have now found within.

Curing overachiever syndrome

I needed to slow down.

Give myself a break and create space for just being.

It has taken a lot of work to learn to be happy with me as I am, to be grateful for what I have and where I am at….all while continuing to move forward. I now achieve goals with more grace and easy. I no longer have overachiever syndrome. I examine my intentions, expectations and motivations. I had to learn humility.

What is present is perfect just the way it is, because that is what it is

I am enough just as I am….and so are you!
