All-or-Nothing is one of the beliefs I have had over the years that does not serve me. I am having a hard time letting go of this mentality. I see it show up in many areas of my life. When I am on a diet, I do it 110%, and then when I have off of it, I also do that 110%. When I am working overtime to earn extra money I do it 110% and then I usually end in a crash and unable to work at all. Most recently I received some criticism from work. This manifested itself into an ”I am no good” mentality.
Life would be much easier for me if I aimed for the middle. I can honestly say that I don’t know what that would be like because that has never been apart of my experience. I am mostly at one extreme or the other.
Pinkies, how to you bring balance to your lives? I am all ears. : )
May there be peace within.
Love,
Gina
All or nothing has been a great part of my life and this does not serve me either. Lately I am finding balance through monitoring my expectations of what I am capable of achieving. I break down ultimately what I want to achieve into manageable targets rather than huge expectations in which I set myself up for disappointment and also self criticism.
As I am growing and achieving I continue to reach a point where I “hit the wall” and I become depleted, I am now aware of this time and I welcome it, this is the process before I move further forwards. If I need some time out then I take it, if I need a nap to let myself catch up mentally to my emotions then that is what I do.
Each day I tweak my thoughts, actions and behaviours back to balance when the need arises and away from all or nothing. Day by day.

PS – you are more than enough Gina, you are and this is not based on an achievement or accomplishment, it just is – you are more than enough right now no matter what is happening at work.
