Do you set high standards and expectations for yourself? Do you have a never ending to-do list that seems to get longer, not shorter? Are you a high achiever? I definitely fall into this category and have exhausted myself being like that over the years. My driving limiting belief was “you have to work really really really hard for everything you have and even then you can lose it all again”. Over the…
I was listening to a Lewis Howes School of Greatness Podcast today which was a mix of a bunch of different people he has interviewed over the years about the habits of successful people.

Are you an “all or nothing” kinda person? I used to be. But the “all or nothingness” leads to extremism and then not really getting to your goals in the most effective way.
