So I don't think that that's

For a lot of us, it's the energy that inspires action that translates into impact.

Where it can become a problem and did for me a bit was where we have no limits to our working, where we exhaust ourselves and burn out, where we don't feel worthy in moments of inaction or of rest.

And that is what I've been working.

And so I think the goal of all of this and what we're both speaking to is we're going to carry our childhood with us.

Not all of it is going to be a quote unquote problem or something that we want to change, right?

Even though this drive for me was born out of disconnection and did give me a sense of worthiness, it's still a drive that I want to harness to produce the impact that I'm having and that I hope I continue to have.

What I'm working now on though is choosing choice, right?

Not feeling like I have to be doing something, producing something, being interpreted in a particular way to gain a sense of worthiness.

I'm also working to not always have to be doing something

all of the time.

Like I said earlier, I have a lot of opportunities available to me, but instead of just saying yes because they're available, really dropping in and saying, do I have the energy to do this?

Do I want to do this?

Is this coming from that deeper point of inspiration as opposed to just because I struggle to say no or because I won't feel good enough or worthy unless I'm producing something?

So, again, I think a lot of us carry or we all carry adaptation from childhood.

It doesn't mean they're all bad.

What we can begin to do, though, is harness the ability to choose as opposed to just feel driven, because that's the only way that we gain worthiness, connection or whatever it is that that's allowing us to create.

Yeah, and perhaps it

Won't ever.

Right.
