66: How to Untangle Productivity and Self-Worth

Do you feel bad about yourself if you don’t have a productive day?

This episode is all about breaking the mental connection between self-worth and productivity. 

If you’ve been around for a while, you know that I believe in working on mindset and creating systems, not just one or the other. The mindset work that we’re talking about in this episode is so important because I see so many people struggling with it, and I want to free you from it. 

I’m sharing two principles to identify underlying beliefs that your worth is connected to your productivity, three problems with that kind of thinking, and three action steps you can take to change it. 

In Today’s Episode We Discuss: 

• Why your self-worth is not connected to your productivity
• How your thoughts create feelings about productivity 
• Why we get defensive about how much we do in a day 
• What it means to “should” on yourself 
• How to stop belittling yourself
• Focusing on your actions rather than obsessing over a goal
• The problems with tying self-worth to productivity
• Making changes to your thinking 

You are worthy. Your productivity does not make you more or less worthy, so stop worrying about that. I hope this episode shows you that you don’t need to be productive to be worthy or deserving and helps you start to change your thinking.
