Today, I want to focus on the paradigm of superhuman compulsion. This socially esteemed and normalized way of operating that often requires us to neglect our need for rest, sleep, connection, play and self-care in order to sustain our self-image of being competent, valuable, and responsible. How many of us learned that our value is crystallized only after we have achieved the esteemed social status, the perfect job, the perfect family, perfect body, or the perfect healthy lifestyle? These pressures whisk us away on a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows — one day we feel accomplished, successful, and worthy, and a day later, we collapse into depression, unworthiness and feelings of self-doubt and failure. When we’re bombarded with social pressures of who we need to become it’s easy to forget who we are at our core — and what our life’s purpose is. We are not meant to do it all. Or, “be” it all. Nor are we meant to improve and fix all perceived shortcomings. Why? I share more about this during the episode — see topics below. Episode Topics: 1.
