When high achievers are consumed with attaining the next goal, overcoming the next obstacle or in the process of creating the next great ‘thing’ they may miss the signs that something is interfering with their ability to enjoy life. 

Finding joy and pleasure in life activities may be a sign, or negative self-talk that is leading to thoughts of harming self or others may be signs that it is time to talk to a therapist.

Coach Mo Knows (a tip, a coaching question, and a bit of inspiration)

Tip:

• If you feel that the depth of the emotions you are experiencing are beginning to interfere with your life, I strongly encourage you to have a conversation with your physician  • consider taking a self-assessment (as Danielle suggested, take the assessment a few times over a period of a few weeks) Psychology Today’s online platform provides a variety of self-tests, use the one best suited to support you in your situation. 

Coaching Question

If you are being challenged with deep emotions or feelings that are interfering with your life, what step will you take today that will move you closer to the support you want?
