I think appreciating what you already have achieved is important, perhaps do a retrospective and talk with friends family what are great things that you have done, achieved or just you are good at or people appreciate.
Why? because no matter where you are going, you go from where you are at the moment.
We tend to forget, downplay, overlook our past achievements and what we are good at we give it for granted, like if it was normal for everyone and compare with others that way better, (there is always someone way better! at least for 99% of us).
When I'm overwhelmed I just practice acceptance, and think "let's do it just a little bit better" that is helping me with perfectionism.
Acceptance, would you still love your best friend if they are not "having a great year, being ambitious, achieving a lot in that year etc, really moving my life forward rather than languishing" I bet you would, why often we treat ourself worse than to our best friends?
Remove all that pressure, and create your own compass that feels good just for you! making things better, that somehow feel rewarding, if you are not having those feelings maybe shake things up, and do some changes.
Hope it helps!
- chrisweekly 3y agoRight on. "The Gain and the Gap" (Hardy & Sullivan) speaks directly to this same essential point. There's always another peak, the horizon always recedes (ie, the "Gap" will always be there), but pause from time to time to look back at how far you are from where you started (the "Gain") and be encouraged.
