5 Reasons Why You Are Overcommitted and Underinvolved

In this episode of the Wise Effort Show, Dr. Diana Hill explores the paradox of feeling overcommitted yet under involved. She talks about the psychological and contextual reasons behind the paradox, including the myths of normalcy, the craving for more, the impact of our limiting stories, the avoidance of discomfort, and the misalignment with our values. Finally, she encourages listeners to destroy the concept of 'normal' and embrace their unique paths.LISTEN AND LEARN REASONS WHY YOU’RE OVERCOMMITTED AND UNDER INVOLVED Reason 1: The Myth of NormalcyReason 2: Holding On Too TightReason 3: Stuck in a StoryReason 4: Running from DiscomfortReason 5: You’re Heading in the Wrong DirectionRelated ResourcesGet enhanced show notes for this episodePlay bigger and have more impact in your therapy and coaching practice.
