 <\/p>\n

Have you found yourself in the situation to ask yourself \u201cIf I can\u2019t be of service by taking x and y task, what I am good for here?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you rely only on serving others to perceive yourself as valuable, here\u2019s what might happen:<\/strong>
\n\ud83d\ude25 You might end up by lacking a personal identity<\/strong> \u2013 identifying only with being of service can result in neglecting your personal passions and goals, leading to a loss of purpose outside of helping others.
\n\ud83e\udd40 Burnout potential<\/strong> \u2013 constantly prioritizing others\u2019 needs over your own can lead to burnout and exhaustion, as you neglect self care and personal fulfillment.
\n\ud83d\udd01 Dependency risk<\/strong> – relying solely on serving others for self-worth can lead to dependency issues, where your value becomes contingent on others’ needs.<\/p>\n

I confess I was in such a situation at a certain point in my professional life. Many years ago, as a young people leader, I thought that showing up constantly to help others will validate my competency and my \u201cplace\u201d in the new role.<\/p>\n

So, what did I do to put an end to this?
\n\u2705 Prioritized self awareness \u2013 recognized when I was seeking validation through helping others
\n\u2705 Established boundaries \u2013 learned how to say \u201cno\u201d in a constructive manner to maintain a balance between helping others and taking care of my own needs
\n\u2705 Pursued diverse interests \u2013 started cultivating hobbies and engaged in activities that brought me joy and fulfillment independently of external validation<\/p>\n

If you find yourself in this situation, do not wait to reach burnout to realize there is much more to your self worth than helping others.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
