Yeah, I think this is an important thing to be aware of. I 100% get and understand the need to reinforce self-worth outside of what's traditionally pushed. But that's not the whole story, and I don't see much on the other side of it.

It's when you get that anxiety/depression cocktail alongside things, unable to find the motivation to do the things you need to do to feel adequately drained, or unable to do the things that adequately energize.

It's when you fall flat and feel horrible, not because of a corporate agenda, but because real people depended on you and you couldn't show up.

It's when you took the advice, and followed your rhythms of the day, and stopped going against your mental grain.... and then you missed your work deadline, or messed up your work and screwed someone over, or accidentally estranged family members, or didn't get that medical treatment you needed.

It's really important people don't tie up in the self-worth of productivity and corporations - it's really easy to prioritize those because we're told all of our lives that they're worth prioritizing - and that leads to us ignoring our own needs... But unless you're very fortunate, work and productivity are needs, and finding ways to exert energy in a healthy (and often relaxing!) way is important.

I don't know where I'm going with this.
