You push yourself too hard, too regularly, for too long. You're use harsh inner self-talk to motivate yourself because, hey, it works and feels familiar. You're incredibly successful, but you're tired. Like bone tired. You secretly wonder how long this can go on…But you don't think about it much, because day after day, you're sucked into the vortex of your diary.

You'll learn about why stress gets stuck in the body, leaving you in that fried, spacey state.

You'll learn how to motivate yourself with self-compassion, instead of harshness.
