Are you an extreme perfectionist or a chronic workaholic?
In our hustle and bustle culture, these seem like the quintessential characteristics everyone wishes they had, but some high achievers might put too much stock in their achievements—so much that their self-esteem is often predicated on what they do. When they reach a goal, they immediately start planning for their next one. They can become prone to workaholism, as their relationships fall to the wayside.
If this sounds like you, it’s possible that the roots of these behaviors come from an avoidant attachment style!
By turning down the volume on that part of you that's fixated on your next goal—harshly prodding you to do more, better, and faster—you can make room to see that you are worthwhile, lovable, and deserving of care from others even without any accomplishments. You can hold space for your emotions, both positive and negative, and become more mindful of all of your experiences in the process.
Divesting yourself of the armor of your achievements can feel terrifying, but it is one of the most transformational opportunities for your healing. Check out the rest of my Psychology Today article for a simple exercise that will help you do just that, bringing you one step closer to unconditional self-acceptance and a secure attachment style!
