But believe me, there's only so far you can push this before you will just hit a wall. And we've kind of gotten to these points. That's why we're successful in our careers. Because, you know, we're people and a lot of us are strong in terms of achievement, and being able to really, you know, move forward. ![]() TyAnn: Yeah, "I've got nothing to give." And believe me, that is the number one recipe for burnout right there. I see customers who have high expectations of themselves that they never meet, and they feel crushing expectations from other people around them, so that same family member, teammate, boss, all of those situations, and they are like, "Everyone wants a piece of me, and I've got nothing." Lisa: I have very high expectations of myself that I never meet. Lisa: And I, I see this with a lot of clients where we want to be it all. TyAnn: Yeah, you're still slurping on that straw, like (slurps). I'm trying to take a sip, there's nothing there. It's kind of like, if you use your cup metaphor, I'm going to drink, there's nothing there. Because, believe me, if you're just gonna keep pouring, nothing's gonna come out. And so this is really where we've got to build self care ideas in our own life so that we can have our own replenishment - things that help us so that we can help give to other people.

You know, we have a lot of demands and pulls on our time and our energy. There's all kinds of things happening in the world right now, and something is probably happening in your life.Īnd here's the deal. I don't know, maybe there was a global pandemic. Maybe you've got some family stuff going on, kids stuff going on. Maybe you've got a personal health struggle, maybe you're facing job troubles, potential job loss. Depending on when you listen, there can be any number of things happening. And, you know, we're all facing different struggles, no matter what it is.
