Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • My motivation for this keeps fading because it’s all external
  • I flub one thing — a bad meeting, a clumsy text — and within seconds I’ve gone from "that went badly" to "I’m a failure," like the single slip becomes a verdict on the entire person I am.
  • My default setting is to evaluate myself constantly
  • I’ve got a big evaluation looming and I can already feel myself bracing to defend my whole worth on it
  • I only seem to know how I’m doing by measuring myself against other people
