Episode 252: How to Stop Tying Your Worthiness to Productivity
So many of us grow up believing our worth is measured by how much we get done, and those messages follow us into adulthood. When you live in a culture that praises achievement, it becomes almost automatic to link productivity to being a good person. The moment you slow down or rest, your brain floods you with thoughts about what you should be doing, which creates anxiousness that often leads to buffering.
In this episode, I talk about why tying your worthiness to productivity becomes a major barrier when you want to quit porn. Conditional self-love keeps you chasing accomplishment to feel good enough, and it creates cycles of shame and self-criticism that make real change harder. You will hear why the discomfort you feel on low-productivity days does not come from the lack of action itself but from the beliefs you have about rest, effort, and what it means to be enough.
You will learn how to unshame your need for rest, how to separate your humanity from your to-do list, and how this shift directly supports long-term success with quitting porn. I walk you through the three-step process for changing these deeply conditioned beliefs so you can feel worthy without relying on productivity and move forward with more confidence, calm, and self-trust.
