You do need to worry about the cost of over-giving.
If your compassion doesnβt start with youβyouβre doing it wrong.
In trying to be thoughtful and considerate, your over-giving might actually be leading to burnout, resentment, and self-neglect.
Itβs not noble. Itβs not sustainable. And itβs costing you more than you think.
Over-giving can lead to:
β’ Burnout and exhaustion
β’ Neglecting your own needs
β’ Repressed anger
β’ Loss of self-esteem
β’ Financial strain
β’ Seeking external validation
β’ Resentment and bitterness
But it doesnβt have to be this way.
On the other side of this is a version of you with boundaries that protect your peace and support healthy, reciprocal relationships.
I walk you through how to build a conscious self-care systemβwith boundaries at the rootβin my free guide: The Conscious Self-Care Blueprint.
Your well being deserves to be at the top of the list.
