Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I treat my own bad moods as background static to just power through, and then I’m baffled when my focus and drive keep collapsing
- I keep pouring myself into caring for everyone around me while running on empty, and instead of feeling connected it just leaves me hollowed out
- So much has been stripped away that I feel like a passive recipient of my own life, and I miss the feeling of making something
- I care about my people so much that I’ve started absorbing their personal crises and trying to fix their lives, and I can’t tell anymore where being a supportive manager stops and me overstepping into someone I shouldn’t be begins.
- I’ve gotten ruthlessly efficient at all of it and I’m emptier than ever
Practices that may help
- The Power of Full Engagement, Made Practical
