Escaping Overachiever Syndrome

Are you guilty of overachievers syndrome? Sometimes we get so caught in the flurry of accomplishment that we forget to look back and see how far up the mountain we have come. I know I am guilty. Sometimes I measure my own accomplishments against Oprah, Cheryl Richardson, and some of the great women thought leaders of our time. And when you use that yardstick, it’s easy not to measure up.

My sister-in-law the other day said to me, “Kristie, have you ever really just looked at everything you have accomplished?” And it stunned me. I never had taken time to acknowledge where I have started, all I have learned, and how far I’ve come? All the sudden, I felt proud.

My guess is that if you sat down and made a list of everything you have learned, done, and experienced over the past year you would be surprised at how much YOU have done too!

Don’t get so caught up in moving to the next goal and achieving the next milestone that you forget to stop and celebrate the amazing things you have done.

You are amazing. You have been given tremendous gifts. You can make a real difference in this world!

I have a self care card I keep by my desk by Cheryl Richardson that says, “Embrace your Magnificence: the world needs your beauty and grace.” That reminds me that every one of us is special. We all have something that only YOU can do or be.

I’d love to hear what you’d done that you are proud of! I want to celebrate you! Click here to share your “live out loud” accomplishments here!
