Does this sound familiar? Let me explain how this cycle works. You tell yourself that achieving just one more thing will finally make you feel worthy or happy. But as soon as you hit that milestone, it doesn’t feel like enough. There’s now something else to fix, another goal to chase; and no matter how much you accomplish, the sense of satisfaction never lasts. It’s like being on a treadmill—you’re working so hard, but you never quite get anywhere. Instead of feeling fulfilled, you’re left exhausted and frustrated, wondering why all your efforts still don’t feel like they’re enough. Over time, this deepens feelings of inadequacy and frustration.
