– You find yourself procrastinating and getting caught up in perfectionism
– You experience creative blocks and find it difficult to create from a place of vulnerability and truth
– You feel like if you stop working all hours then you’ll become irrelevant or miss the boat
– You compare yourself to others, feel bitter about their success, then feel guilty for feeling bitter
– You spend hours over-preparing for meetings/pitches/auditions
– You secretly wish time away with your family because you ‘should be’ being productive. Then more feeling guilty. Obvs.
– You feel exhausted and weighed down by the responsibility of delivering at work, as well as carrying the mental load at home
– You’ve found yourself questioning EVERYTHING and even losing faith in yourself and/or the project every time someone says no
– You feel like a fraud because you’re ‘successful’ on paper, but you don’t feel like you’ve put out your best work, or reached your most meaningful goals. And it’s been a BALL ACHE to get here and you’re tired of working so bloody hard.
