This line really hit home for me: 'It’s the difference between eating chocolate because it tastes good, and having a voice in your head saying EAT THIS RIGHT NOW, FAST, GO!' It perfectly captures that feeling of being driven by compulsion rather than genuine desire. I'm realizing that so much of my work life has been like that second scenario. Time for a change! (Don't ask me what that change is yet... I'm still working on the details haha)
Thanks Alex 🥰 I love that analogy because so many of my clients worry that if they believe they're good enough, they'll lose that drive to be better. And actually it's often the opposite - without the unhealthy pushing, they WANT to do it, and do it better. Which is just so cool.

Totally preaching to the converted here 😂
This is SO me! Still blows my mind that perfectionism and performance has such a weak relationship, mental 🤯
I know! Such a good one to remind yourself of when your brain tries to tell you it's a good thing 😅
