Are You Competing in the People-Pleasing Olympics?

 Are you following the wrong Olympics?

Welcome to the People Pleasing Olympics, where contestants compete in categories like “Never Saying No” and “Resting the Least.” But here’s the twist:

Despite their best efforts, no medals have been awarded.

There are no awards for being “Most Perfect” or “Never Making Mistakes.” Yet, many of us push ourselves to meet these impossible standards.

This relentless pursuit often leads to burnout and dissatisfaction. 

For COOs / Integrators and other high achievers, the stakes feel even higher. The pressure to handle every crisis alone, balance every demand flawlessly, and never need a break is immense.

Breaking free from the cycle of people-pleasing requires a shift in mindset. It involves recognizing that it’s okay to set boundaries, ask for help, and prioritize your well-being. This isn’t about neglecting your responsibilities but about managing them in a sustainable way. Remember, taking care of yourself isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a necessity; it helps you show up at your best!  

There’s no gold medal for being a perfect people pleaser or Burnt-Out Integrator / COO.

 The only race worth running is the one where you prioritize your own health, happiness, and well-being. So, step off the never-ending treadmill of unrealistic expectations and start celebrating the real wins in your life.
