Are You Measuring Your "Value" by How Productive You Are?

Answer this for me:

• Do you feel valuable only when you're busy?
  
• Pressure to always be productive
• Constant guilt for resting
• Fear of judgment when you think about taking time out?
• Have difficulty enjoying downtime?
  

​​​How does it feel when you don’t have a million things to juggle or there are zero projects on your plate?

When big life transitions happens and you are actually unable to work, or the kids don’t need as much of your time anymore - and you are perhaps stuck without anything to keep you “busy” so to speak.

If you're anything like me, it probably feels empty. With the mental chatter and a sense of worthlessness creeping in.

These are the same questions I had to ask myself many times when I moved from corporate career to becoming a business owner, and later while starting over as an expat in two countries when there is:

• No one there to pat your head and give you a good review!
• No one there to watch all that effort you’ve been putting in and celebrate you!

As women we are somehow wired to believe that “busy and being productive IS our value estimate”.

From a young age, people are taught to link their value to external accomplishments, like academic grades, career success, or financial gains.

Plus this "hustle culture" promotes the idea that the more you do and achieve, the more valuable and successful you are.

And don’t get me wrong, we want ambitious, strong high achieving women in this world!

But THIS can also foster the belief that worth is EARNED... rather than inherent.

​Your Worth Isn’t in Your To-Do List—Here’s Why This Needs to Change.

​In this short video coaching vlog, I'll unpack why this mindset can be so damaging, especially for high-achieving women! And I share practical ways you can to break free from the constant pressure to "do more".

I'll also touch on:

1. The harmful impact of Hustle Culture. Constantly striving to “do more” leads to burnout, stress, and even anxiety, creating an endless cycle that makes it hard to rest and recharge.
2. Ways you can start to break the cycle. Embracing rest and acknowledging it's key to finding balance and peace.

I think you'll love this coaching topic, if you've ever experienced: 

• Burnout: Exhaustion from always striving to do more, and the never ending to-do list!

• Self-Doubt: Feeling inadequate or unworthy when not "busy" or "achieving".

• Anxiety: Worry about not being good enough, without external validation. 

You'll gain insight into you value beyond what you accomplish. My belief is that your worth isn't defined by what you do - it's who you!

​Your self-worth isn’t a by-product of how much you do and achieve - it's in you showing up authentically YOU ~ JB
