There can be a quieter side to striving that is often overlooked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can show up as the feeling that rest must be earned, that value must be proven, that nothing you achieve is quite good enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might also notice that celebrating yourself and your achievements feels uncomfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it becomes easy to slip into thinking that you must keep moving and keep on doing more so that you can feel secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
