I will always take a KK donut! I find this a brave post, Jeannie. Whenever I am hesitant about something, I can rarely share that hesitation publicly. Lately I’ve been thinking about the concept of Upper Limit Problem, something Gay Hendricks writes about in his book The Big Leap. Essentially, whenever things are going *too good* we run into our Upper Limit ceilings and deliberately sabotage things in our world. (This can sound a little harsh if things are going poorly for one, but I’ve experienced this kind of self-sabotage a lot.) Hendricks proposes exercises to deal with this human tendency (it’s hit or miss if the exercises resonate with me, truthfully). But it’s been really helpful to consider in my life: “is this resistance a form of sabotage? Or is it just a slow point on the path?” Cheers to the partners bringing food to the writers 👏💞✨
This is on point Kara, thank you for sharing about those concepts of the book. I’ve experienced that sabotage too and challenged myself when there is nothing wrong, but it feels like there is, and it’s okay that there is not! Haha! I guess I’m just going to keep showing up as consistently as I can until I have more clarity… or donuts 😂
lol yes! to showing up AND donuts. Also: sometimes in hindsight when I've sabotaged/stirred up drama, I think to myself, "Ohhhh, okay. I need to give the writer in my brain something to work on. Cause this girl loves to create drama!" lol. Maybe it's just a sign that you're in the Artist's Club. <3
