Feeling the need to prove ourselves, this kind of pressure can zap our confidence, leading to perfectionism, self-judgment, a feeling of being overwhelmed, and burnout.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile workplace pressures are real, much of the pressure we feel is self-imposed. A lack of confidence in our own abilities can make us feel like we have to work twice as hard, and even then, don’t deserve the success we achieve. Within this unhealthy dynamic, even the most well-intended feedback can feel like judgmental criticism. When we feel anxious and doubtful, belief in ourselves disappears and we lose our composure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut it doesn’t have to be that way.
