There’s a 3-part sabotage cycle many high-achievers live in without realizing it.
It feels productive.
It looks successful.
It’s often praised.
But it’s usually driven by adrenaline, not alignment.
⚡ The “I’ve Got This” Phase
You’re running on adrenaline and cortisol.
You feel sharp, driven, capable – this phase can happen after an event, retreat, or a coaching call where there was INSIGHT uncovered
You push, over-deliver, take lots of action, say yes, perform, rescue.
Rest feels optional…or unsafe.
This is survival energy masquerading as success.
🪫 Then Comes the Crash
Energy drops. Irritability arrives and you snap at your kids. You’re crying and hit a wall (no, it’s not perimenopause symptoms)
Simple tasks feel heavy.
Shame creeps in: “Why can’t I keep up?”
Your nervous system isn’t lazy.
It’s exhausted.
🚫 Then Avoidance Kicks In
You procrastinate. Delay. Avoid visibility or decisions.
You wait to “feel ready” again.
This isn’t a discipline issue.
It’s a nervous system saying: “No more.”
🔁 Why the Cycle Repeats
Avoidance creates pressure → pressure triggers adrenaline → adrenaline pushes you back into overdrive.
Mindset shifts, asking ChatGPt, listening to a podcast won’t fix this, because it’s physiological.
✨ What Actually Breaks the Cycle
Not pushing harder.
Not collapsing into rest.
The cycle breaks when you learn how to:
- Regulate your nervous system while taking action
- Create results from safety, not urgency
- Build capacity instead of burning fuel
