How To Stop Overfunctioning
If you're a high-achiever and pride yourself on doing well in life, there's a risk you're also an overfunctioner.
An overfunctioner is someone who looks like they have it all together.\xa0 They're organised, reliable, helpful and viewed as a great partner, colleague or friend.\xa0 From the outside all these things are perceived to be great.\xa0 But for an overfunctioner on the inside it leads to frustration, exhaustion and even burnout.
You\u2019ll recognise if you overfunction if:
- something needs to get done at work and you just do it, whether it's your job or not
- someone in your life is struggling with something and you feel responsible to help them, even if they don't ask for your help
- you have a secret (or not so secret) belief that if something needs doing, it won\u2019t get done unless you do it, even if the other person is capable\xa0
- you feel overly concerned for everyone\u2019s happiness
In this episode I explore:
- What is overfunctioning
- How it might show up in your life
- How you can move from overfunctioning to optimal-functioning
