The words I didn't use throughout my career and life a few years ago which sent me into burnout.
.
I used think that I needed to have it all together, all the time. That I needed to "man" up, be strong and literally go above and beyond exhaustion. Perfectionism was driving me to the point where I was extremely unfulfilled, unhappy, suffering from severe stress, anxiety, hair loss and weight issues for a long time. #realtalk

Over the years I've learned that 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩-𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳. Danggg you think she looks so good and she tricks you to feel sexy, making you think you need her to push yourself/be a better you.

Don't fall into the trap, beautiful human ❤️

As a recovering perfectionist, I'm so grateful to know it doesn't have to be that way. The biggest lesson was to do the work every day to address my fear of not being good enough and not being worthy. It took years and this started with:
✨ Reaching out and speaking up when I needed help and putting my ego (and perfectionism) aside
✨ Listening to my body & intuition
✨ Recognising my people pleasing tendencies
✨ Acknowledging how I sought validation from others to feel worthy
✨ Making lots of mistakes, learning and shifting what doesn't work anymore. .

I know it's scary to ask for help. You might be thinking.. What will they think of me..? All them nasty thoughts. I hear you ❤️
.
It's okay to ask for and to need help. It's okay to say it's too much right now. It's okay to rest. In fact it's necessary. You are human. We are all human and we're not meant to do it alone. 💞
