Today on the Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about overachievers. You know, those of us that always like to set the bar wicked high for ourselves. Now, having big goals isn’t a bad thing in and of itself… but things can get out of whack when we keep re-setting the bar so high and fast, that we never actually take the time to appreciate our success when we reach it. (or even sometimes, sail straight up and over it.  It’s in those times of success, that we need to step back, take the time to pause, breathe, reflect and appreciate the hard work it took to accomplish our goal. You know, give yourself a chance to take it in, celebrate, bust out a “power move” or do a little happy dance for ourselves. Ha! So much of the joy of being in the journey can get sucked right out if we’re always so restless with our forward-future thinking. Cut yourself a little grace and mercy, invite in more fun and don’t forget that you’re worth is not dependent on what you DO. You are already worthy. It’s your birthright, not something you have to earn by performing. So please, come join me in taking that pause, that deep breath and let’s really celebrate how far we’ve already come!
