Summary
Here at Growing Self our therapy and life coaching clients are generally successful, high-achieving people on a path of personal growth. Because of this, I have a soft spot for the superstars, and I know that being a go-getting, productive, conscientious, high-achieving, intelligent, successful person has many, many benefits. You get things done, you're on top of it, and you are probably extremely successful in many areas of life.
And... it's probably hard for you to relax.
How to Relax When You're an Over-Achiever
Today's episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast is just for you, my high-achieving compadre. We'll be discussing:
- The mind-body connection that makes you feel stressed out even when you're relaxing
- New ideas to help you prioritize your self-care and relaxation
- The real source of stress (it's not what you think... except when it is)
- Why "relaxing" behaviors (massages, hot baths, vacations) won't help you truly de-stress
- How to combat the stressful thinking styles that will interfere with true relaxation
- The skills and strategies that will actually help you reduce stress, relax, and restore your mind, body and soul.
I hope this discussion helps you achieve the rest and relaxation that you deserve, and that it helps you (paradoxically) become even more productive, creative, forward-thinking and successful as a result!
From me to you,
