So you are a self-professed high performer. You excel at what you do.
It’s just who you are. You’ve worked hard to cultivate a high-performing mindset.
✔️ You’re on it and run circles around everyone
✔️ You have clarity, especially about the BIG stuff
✔️ Your work/life balance is in check
✔️ You speak up and communicate with compassion AND conviction
✔️ You have courage – in spades
✔️ You make sound and timely decisions
✔️ You’re comfortable in your skin and able to laugh at yourself
✔️ You even rein in your anxiety, ‘cause you know everyone has some
✔️ You feel joy on a regular basis
Congratulations. You’ve made it. You have the world by the tail. Yet, there are times when you fall into traps like these that take you off your game.
✔️ Looking ‘good’ at all costs
✔️ People pleasing
✔️ Comparing yourself to what others say, do, and have
✔️ Doing things the way you’ve always done
✔️ Striving for recognition and approval
✔️ Controlling people and outcomes
✔️ Addiction to over-doing, over-busy and over-working
A high-performing mindset IS NOT these things.
One minute you feel more confident than ever, the next you don’t. That recurring belief you thought you tackled YEARS AGO, rears its ugly head. You know what I mean..the belief ‘I am not good enough’. It comes back to haunt you when things don’t go your way or according to your plan, when you’re out of your comfort zone, or get feedback you don’t like. Moments ago you were feeling AWESOME but now you’re feeling sad and like a LOSER.
If this resonates, I got news for you. Your Identity and self-esteem are tied up in your performance. And that’s always a no-win situation.
Contrary to popular belief:
👉 You are not what you do.
👉 You are not what you accomplish.
👉 You are not what people think of you.
👉 You are not how many likes you get.
👉 You are not how much money you make.
