Are We High-Achieving or Just Scared?

Written By Alex Mufson

Are we just so shitty at emotional regulation that it feels better to accomplish than it does to be present in our bodies?

Is that by design?

If we are focused on productivity to outrun our insecurities, because we aren’t taught the tools to value ourselves beyond our labor, we are the perfect children of capitalism.

And look, we have to work because we are trapped in this system (at least for now, revolution pending).

But what if our act of rebellion was to enter the space with intention rather than urgency?

What if we reclaimed our nervous systems, centering regulation and working from a place of contribution rather than scarcity?

We have been convinced to be so hyper-independent that it feels like an insult to be cared for.

Perfect for keeping us trapped and tired.

Let’s redefine achievement to serve us rather than silence us.
