#109: Do Your Standards Match Your Season?

Today, we're solving an issue I see costing a lot of people unnecessary time, energy and ANGST.

You're going to assess if the standards and expectations you're setting for today are current...

Or if they are, in fact, holdovers from a previous season.

For many high-achievers who've done amazing, very hard things in life and work, it's super common to almost "cement" those times as permanent reference points for "how I should be" and "what I should be able to do."

So if you lived in hustle-mode for years building your business, or survived on 4 hours sleep in grad school, or produced amazing reports at the last-minute in your 30's...guess what. Your brain remembers.

And part of you might be trying to hold yourself to those same standards today!

This isn't just about getting older, though. MOST people experience "season changes" throughout the year - and things that worked well and felt easy in April suddenly don't in August. 

If you're making this a big, personal problem - this episode is for you.

Because you may just need to recognize that you're not a robot who's supposed to reach a certain level of productivity / efficiency / happiness / energy / etc...and "stay that way."

Let's update your standards and make everything easier, shall we?
