Have you ever felt that your value and contribution isn’t being recognised and your brilliance is being overshadowed by some kind of dumbing-down? This could be in work, relationships, or life in general, but either way it’s impacting your confidence and self esteem. But the worst part is that this isn’t even an accurate reflection of how you feel about yourself but rather how someone else is treating you, and therefore making you feel…
When we’re not fulfilled or given the chance to shine we become disengaged, disempowered and oftentimes we move into low vibration energy that changes our entire mood and self belief and puts us into an apathetic state of being. But this is NOT where we want to be because it steals our soul and wastes our precious time alive.
In this week's episode I’m going to introduce you to the ‘shrink’ zone, which is the opposite of the ‘stretch’ zone and sits behind your comfort zone. Shrinking is worse than just being comfy because when you’re in this position (and not by initial choice) it’s going to slowly chink away at your brilliance and dull your sparkle. In the shrink zone, you will feel ‘less than’ what you know you are what you truly have to offer and this can have a huge detriment to our confidence and self esteem!
I’ll recap on some of Maslows Hierachy of Needs and other previous episode topics, touch on the burnout versus boreout phenomenons, and introduce you to hygiene and motivation factors and why we need to be in the ‘achievement zone’ and not the ‘apathy zone’ to feel psychologically safe and accountable/empowered at work . I’ll also highlight why our intimate relationship needs and attachment types can also muddy the waters of confidence and self esteem if we’re not with someone who is allowing us to be the best version of ourselves through keeping us small, shrinking our soul, or not recognising our value.
At the end of this episode I’ll give a few steps on the best way to get out of this space to avoid inertia creeping in by identifying exactly what you bring to the table, what you want from your life, and by standing in your power and taking action to change your life, reclaim your brilliance, and stop that shrinking feeling inside!
