The pressure we put on ourselves. It is like a balloon filling with air, it grows and stretches until it gets so thin it finally pops.
Why do we do that to ourselves?
Where did we learn to put that kind of pressure on ourselves?
Who taught us that in order to be successful we had to push really hard?

Where did that pressure come from?
Who told me it had to all be a certain way?
What kind of pressure are you putting on yourself right now?

The first step is seeing/knowing that you are putting pressure on yourself — then deciding what you want to do about it.
So take a deep breath. Let out some air. Let’s go.
