Thanks for your post ❤️

Have you read moon dust? It’s about the men who went to the moon, and became burnouts after because of this exact thing. Often Olympian’s who win gold can suffer the same fate. Great book!

I will be writing on my substack about pursuing goals from a healthy perspective of self care and awareness… while being a parent and feeling like you’re not achieving as much as you want to be.

I think in the end goals like “today I will be better at x than I was yesterday” over the long term, will have the best internal results.

Thanks for reading!

I haven't read that book but I have heard of that phenomena and I find it quite interesting.

I'm currently reading "The Art Of Building A Growth Mindset" By Thinknetic and I find it very useful and practical for these things.

Thanks for your support! I've just subscribed to your blog.
