Hi, I’m Kimberly Spencer, and I’ve been addicted to doing. I’m a do-er. Most of the people I work with are do-ers. In fact, it’s hard to get us to NOT do. There is always something to-do. A neverending to-do list of “shoulds” and “supposed to’s.” To be honest, we LOVE the hustle, the thrill of rising into a challenge, the testing of our limits to see just how hard we can push ourselves.

I used to be HUGE on New Year Resolutions - like the biggest. Since I was 12, there are diary entries with lists, loads of lists...soooooo many lists...of all the things I would be, do, and have in the following 12 months. Problem is, many of the things were always what I thought I “should” do to be enough. You will never do enough to be enough if you don’t believe you’re enough as you are, right now. After recovering from bulimia (and ultimately perfectionism), I stopped the incessant and inefficient list making for a more suitable process - intuition. I started trusting myself.

Ever have that one thing that keeps recurring in your life every time you feel like you’re leveling up? For me, it’s around rejection. I have had to do a lot of healing around people leaving. I’d reject parts of me - the silly, the weird, the dramatic, the ultra-girly, the ballerina - or parts that I thought would allow me to fit in, only to be rejected. HINT: Deep down, humans aren’t stupid. They know when you’re faking it. Sometimes they may not want to know that you’re faking it - but faking it can be felt just as deeply as feeling it.

Feeling the feels of scarcity these past few weeks? I have. We’ve been going for a BIG goal, like a massive leap goal and in the thick of it, I feel like...I...just...keep...miss-ing. The. be-at. It feels like frustration, anger, impatience, annoyance. And I’ve realized that I need to give myself permission to just freaking be in it. Like REALLY in it. Still working. But also fully surrendering.
“Who is this person?” I thought. Fifteen minutes had flown by, my thumb was pulsating as my soul was shrinking into Facebook oblivion. I caught myself in a moment of lightening awareness, with the thunderous rumble of creation roaring through my veins. “What am I even doing?” I’d spent the past fifteen minutes scrolling, sensing, feeling, consuming messages of hope, despair, light, darkness, facts, conspiracy, quotes, and images of lunch and COVID tests. What I’d accomplished...nothing. What I’d felt...everything. It’s easy to get enthralled into the black hole of consuming on social media. It gives our brains the dopamine rushes like a heroin addict as our thumbs repetitively shove the scrolling into our eyeballs, heightening our senses while simultaneously numbing them. I put the phone down on the table and walked outside for a breath of fresh air. Even as high performers, it’s easy to get lost in the addiction to consume - Netflix, alcohol, mindless scrolling on social media, sugar. The list goes on and on of the cavities of excuses that we use to justify. What I’ve seen, especially with high performers, is that sometimes, they think it’s almost justifiable. More often…
