Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. While I don't currently experience this on the workplace, I certainly have in the past and can recall these emotions with vivid detail. Today, I see remnants of it when I'm disappointed (maybe it's a vacation that didn't go as planned, or feelings of being appreciated as a hostess or event coordinator, etc.). Thank you for helping me see that this isn't just about questioning whether or not we're enough, but perhaps something else at play. I really appreciated your perspective!
Thanks Poetic for reading and your comment. It's so astute to recognise the remnants of this left behind. It's always good to challenge where those thoughts or feelings come from. Often they are someone else's legacy and we can choose to carry them forward or not. Good luck with questioning it!
Great post Sabrina.
I agree, most people care about their work and want to do a good job so when unrealistic expectations are put on them, they just try harder.
And it's hard not to do this, especially when the rest of the team and the boss are also working harder and harder.
Love the tips in the article.
Thanks Wendy. It's such a hard balance to strike isn't it? These internal drivers and habits we develop over the years.
Practice is the best way to shift those tugs we get to do things that don't ultimately work for us.
