After having my most successful month in business—but ending up in the ER—I learned that I needed to open up to friends, strangers and myself about what was really going on in my life.
The scary part is, some people spend years moving from one goal to the next, distracting themselves with their work, and not taking the time or space to connect with what they truly want and need. I’m personally guilty of falling into this trap . But, what’s the point of ticking off big goals if you’re not feeling fulfilled, enjoying the process, or taking care of yourself?
After my burnout, I had to get real with my closest friends about what was happening and allow them to point out my blind spots and voice their concerns. It was an eye-opening experience to see how much self-sabotaging behavior I was engaging in without even being aware of it. I couldn’t participate since I’d just returned from the hospital, so the event facilitator assigned one of the participants to climb the pole in my honor. I felt difficulty allowing someone else do what I believed I should have been doing. When I expressed this feeling to the facilitator, she responded: “when was the last time you allowed someone to climb the pole for you?”
