So simple yet such a perfect post. I have a whole party full of drivers pulling me every which way.

Great article. All of them drive me in some capacity, but in order: Please others, Be perfect, Hurry up, Try hard, Be strong.

I recognise myself in at least three of these stressors. Perfection, strength and please others. This is so helpful.

Of course I recognize myself in all of these but 'hurry up' was/is definitely ringing my bell! Thank you for the clear way you set this out.

This post is a great reminder ! I loved the part in Betwixt with the drivers. Mine is Try Hard. And a little of Please Others too. Thanks for this newsletter 🙌

Also just a note that there's a tiny typo. In Be Strong, Stress behaviours, it refers to Be Perfect instead of Be Strong.
