The Achiever Syndrome is a pattern of behavior that is solely focused on achieving (anything) and any presence of a healthy balance in the mindset and actions, is non-existent. It may affect you daily, it could be for weeks on end when things are stressful at work, it could be for months on end because of projects at home that there is no time for you, or it could just be WHO YOU ARE. Heck, I created it because that’s who I was…and sometimes still struggle with. Stay at home moms, entrepreneurs, lawyers, college students, etc. can all suffer. If you have your eye on a prize/goal (achieving something/anything) then there is great potential for the syndrome to affect your livelihood.
My (IN)spire Moment for all of you Achievers out there is to encourage you to stay healthy…mentally! Take that time in the morning to see how you are feeling on the (in)side. Look IN! We take time to look good on the outside before we head out, my question is…how are you feeling on the (in)side before you step out into the world? Check-up from the neck-up! Start today!
