4 Birth Months Who Put Way Too Much Pressure On Themselves

It’s important to set goals for yourself. To hold yourself to a high standard. To actively work toward achieving your dreams each and every day. However, you don’t want to take any of these ideas too far and push yourself too hard. Here are the birth months who put way too much pressure on themselves:

February

If you were born in February, you rarely rest. You are plagued with guilt whenever you step away from your work for a few minutes because you feel like you should be using that time to be productive. You feel like you are wasting every moment you spend having fun or unwinding. But life is about more than productivity. You need to set aside time to relax too. You put way too much pressure on yourself because you want to accomplish all your dreams, but you don’t want to sacrifice your happiness or mental health in the process. You don’t want to feel stressed out and miserable every single day. Your dreams might feel worth some sacrifices, but you shouldn’t sacrifice everything.

April

If you were born in April, you are an overachiever. Nothing you do is ever good enough. You could accomplish everything that’s written on your schedule that day, but you will still feel like you could have done more. You could have been more productive. You could have been more efficient. You could have been more successful. Although your drive and determination can be a beautiful thing, you need to learn (and respect) your limits. Don’t push yourself to your breaking point. Slow down and stop before you burn yourself out. You can’t completely neglect your mental health because your full focus is on winning.

August

If you were born in August, you have lofty goals for yourself, and you understand that you need to work hard in order to reach these goals. You have grown to believe that if you don’t push yourself, then you’re never going to make it. But there’s a difference between working hard and overworking. You don’t want to overextend yourself or you’re going to end up miserable, whether you reach success or not. Remember, the goal shouldn’t be to reach your dreams, even if that means neglecting your mental health and everyone who cares about you. The goal should be to reach your dreams in a way that keeps you happy and healthy. The journey matters as much as the destination, so don’t make every day miserable for yourself.

September

If you were born in September, you squeeze as much into your schedule as possible. You want to accomplish more and more every single day, so your current self is always competing with your past self. But you need to remember, you are going to have different energy levels on different days. Sometimes, you won’t be able to accomplish as much as you did the day before and that’s okay. You shouldn’t be in competition with anyone, even yourself. As long as you’re doing your best in that moment, that’s all you can ask for.
