Today's read from Elephant Journal explores a unique approach to achieving success by working with the nervous system. The author shares her personal journey from being an overachiever striving for a PhD and career success to experiencing burnout. She transitioned from academia to teaching yoga on a tropical island and eventually moved back to Europe to start a coaching practice and retrain as a somatic practitioner. Through this process, she discovered that when our goals exceed our nervous system's capacity, it can lead to burnout and anxiety, often misunderstood as self-sabotage.
The article emphasizes the importance of aligning our ambitions with our body’s natural rhythm and breaking down goals into manageable steps. This method challenges the traditional hustle culture, suggesting a balanced approach to achieving goals. It highlights the potential benefits of respecting our body’s limits for long-term success and well-being.

Think back to what tasks or projects made you feel alive, whether it was collaborating with a team or diving into problem-solving. Embracing these moments of joy and skill can lead to a more fulfilling career path.
