Okay, let’s talk about those “awards” we’re chasing—the ones that don’t exist but somehow control so much of what we do, how we feel, and how we show up in life.

Let me give you a few examples. Ever caught yourself secretly competing for the:

• “No mistakes were made” award?

• Or the “Most beautiful” award?

• How about “Skinniest”?

• “Lived up to all expectations”?

• “Never said no”?

• “Never asked for help”?

• Oh, and let’s not forget the big one: “Liked by everyone.”

• And last but not least, the “Didn’t need rest” award.

Are you cringing yet? Because SAME. The crazy part is, none of these awards are real. Literally none of these exist. No one is handing us trophies for being exhausted, perfect, or never making mistakes – but still, we’re running ourselves into the ground trying to win them.

So, today, we’re unpacking why we’re chasing these invisible awards, how they’re stealing our joy, and what we can do to let go of the pressure and just be.
