Are you a high functioning and high-performance person, with a harsh inner critic?

Sometimes perfectionism creates this crazy kind of anxiety that can be disguised as: punctual, friendly, driven, detail-oriented, helpful, and organized.

It might look like never asking for help, having crazy high expectations for yourself, and being really hard on yourself when you fall short (because if you let yourself off the hook, you’d just get unproductive/lazy).

It’s that feeling of needing to be in constant motion because we think we can outrun anxiety.

It's a coping mechanism and our subconscious programming has a lot to do with the original blueprint.

"Being a 'good kid' often meant being 'mature'. We were often praised for not having big feelings, not making messes, not making noise. Thing is...kids really need to have big feelings, make messes, and make noise. 'Good kids' can often grow into anxious adults." Dr. Glenn Doyle
