I've had the very same experience with reading—or attempting to start and then feeling this itch to pick up my phone between paragraphs that I can't shake!! Loved this and thank you for sharing so beautifully.
I resonated with this on so many levels. For so long I thought the urgency I created in my life was drive and ambition. Only with slowing down and asking the right questions did I come to realize that it was actually anxiety. Anxiety about not being valuable if I wasn’t always responsible or successful. Thanks for sharing your story!
So appreciate your thoughts here, Harry. It’s all incredibly relatable. I spent much of my twenties and thirties striving - always striving. And now that I’m in my 40’s, all of that striving and achieving isn’t what brings me to life each day. Now, I’m going for contentment. Peace. Moments of joy.
This article felt so honest and resonated a bit too much with me (including the decision n. 03). Happy for you for slowing down and sending you lots of love ✨
It takes a lot of gumption and self awareness to disentangle yourself from the hamster wheel of “ must do better or best”. Good for you Harry making the switch to leading with your values. Slowing down and taking in the view is hard when you are driven by “ success” or the idea of it. Real success can be living life the way you decide and not some version imposed by expectation. This is a great piece and a reminder that we only get one chance at life….do it your way at a pace that works for you, no apologies needed. Thank you for sharing, beautiful.😍
I deeply resonated with this and am in a similar period to that which you experienced post burn out... thank you for your honesty, vulnerability and reminder that we all share in our common 'humanness!'
