Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness podcast.

This, I think, is going to be quite a quick episode to see how much I blab on.

But it was sparked by a conversation I had in a client check-in.

And I guess it's a little bit more of a brain dump and interesting ponderings than anything else.

But anyway, this client is pretty amazing.

She's a CEO.

She's a mother.

She's a partner.

She's, I'm sure, an excellent friend and stays in pretty incredible shape as well.

So she's a bit of a superwoman, but unsurprisingly, she has very high standards,

which is probably why she's successful. And anyway, in last week's check-in, she was particularly

hard on herself. And I asked her a question of, like, who said that this isn't enough? Like,

that what you're doing at the moment isn't enough.

And she thought about it and she noted that it made her realise that she's never satisfied with anything that she does. And then she asked, like, how do I reprogram that? Right. How do I,

how do I kind of allow myself to say, like, well, yeah, that's enough or that was a good job

and not always be like looking for what's the next thing.

And this was my response. I said, you're probably asking the wrong person because it's definitely

a trait of mine as well. And I see it as a bit of like a shadow side to success as in the traits

that make you successful are also often the traits

that cause the most harm and can be the most destructive as well. So, for example, never being

satisfied will always make you strive for more, but you also risk not appreciating what you have

and not enjoying life as much.
