Ep. 79 - How to Find True Contentment Without Fearing Complacency
Description
Life is a constant balancing act, especially for us heart-centered high achievers and overthinkers. We often find ourselves on the path of relentless striving and self-improvement, which can lead to burnout and a sense of never truly being satisfied.
In this episode, I want to help you understand the difference between contentment and complacency and provide you with strategies to notice and practice that difference.
Because, our kind's natural inclination is toward consistent progress and personal growth, it's crucial to recognize when our pursuit of improvement has crossed the line into unhealthy perfectionism, leading us into a cycle of restlessness and discontent. Slippery slope, for sure.
So added in is one of my favorite word swaps from Dr. Shauna Shapiro to have you reframe the way you look at "self-improvement."
If you found value in this episode, please share it with your fellow heart-centered high achievers and overthinkers. Together, we can create a world where contentment and fulfillment coexist with ambition and achievement.
Take care of your hearts, nurture your spirits, and remember, you are worthy of a life that's both purposeful and joyful.
