This is interesting to me as someone who’s overworked herself and has seen how much that has slowed down her progress. I like the idea of working towards our dreams, finding a way that works for us that doesn’t make us burnout or lose perspective on what’s important in life too. I think for me being softer with myself has made me improve so much, work for me just flows now. It’s interesting because I’m sure a lot of people need to hear this now. Some people need to hear “slow down” and others need to hear “maybe you have to push a little harder” and I do understand that even though the pushing harder is our main narrative in society nowadays, I suppose places like substack will be a little bit more leaning onto the “slow down” kind of advice, apart from the fact that this can also be romanticized
