For years, I measured myself against my most productive day. Which meant: If I didn’t finish my to-do list, I felt guilty. But this wasn’t a productivity problem. Because when your self-worth is tied to output. And that fear keeps you stuck: -Pushing without being present. You miss the life that’s happening right in front of you. And when you’re chasing productivity out of fear, you end up doing more but achieving less because you’re focused on what’s urgent, not what’s important.

If you’re tired of chasing, forcing or never feeling “enough”… and you want to increase your true productivity. Reply "VIDEO" and I’ll send it your way. Much love, What I’m watching: The 7M TikTok Cult Quote of the week: “We are human beings, not human doings.” - Dalai Lama |

It’s such a normal way of talking that I never even questioned it. But here’s an uncomfortable truth: no one can make you feel anything. Not your boss. Not your partner. Not your parents. Every single feeling you experience is filtered through your own perspective. Through the meaning you assign to what happened....
You're stuck because you’re resisting what you feel.Most of us were never taught how to feel.We were taught how to perform.We learned to push emotions away.To hold it together.To stay strong.When sadness comes up, we call it weakness.When anger surfaces, we label it dangerous.When fear shows up, we try to control everything around us.But that constant suppression?It creates tension, overwhelm and the sense of being stuck in your own head.Eventually it turns into anxiety, numbness,...
