Your Superpower is... you're always ready for anything!
Image Source
You think of everything & you're always prepared.Your carefully earned middle name is “I got this”. You’re prepared for everything and a natural planner, but also one who always has a back up plan (just in case).It’s likely you've been called the mom of your friend group- you may even have the Mary Poppins purse that always produces what’s needed in the moment. Mints, chapstick. In there. Bug spray, sunblock. You got it covered. Phone charger. Check.You’re always in research mode (even if you don’t see it). A friend mentions they hate seafood, you file that away. The new place that just opened? You’ve already been on their social media & read reviews. You’re the first to hear about specials and events. No wonder you’re the go-to friend for planning nights out and girls trips.You’re always looking after everyone and this makes you the one everyone comes to for advice. From relationships to careers people naturally look to you for confirmation that they're making the right choice.Are you using your super power for everyone but you?Do you…☑️ Have a difficult time making decisions☑️ Not validate your own experience/ reality☑️ Value external opinions over your own☑️ Frequently second guess yourself☑️ Struggle with self worth☑️ Dwell on your mistakes☑️ Undermine or dismiss your previous success and feel regret☑️ Try to control everything and everyone☑️ Compare yourself to others☑️ Silence your intuition...if you check even 3 of these boxes, then chances are you doubt yourself enough that it’s holding you back, and it might even be seriously damaging your relationships.“In 900 years of time and space, I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important” — Doctor WhoGetting To Know YouYou’re a nurturer. You likely took on a parent role growing up. Watching over siblings and even your own parents.All this responsibility from a young age caused you to over-plan because you also had to accommodate your limitations- like inability to drive.Your trauma personality protected you by becoming the parent that was needed.Responsibility – You made yourself the easy child by being the responsible one.You took care of yourself, your siblings, and maybe even your parents. Signing your own permission slips. Helping with homework & bedtime routines. Taking on adult household chores like cooking meals and paying bills.You put yourself last because you were an integral part of keeping everything running smoothly.Self-awareness – You were never the child, so you never needed to grow up.You were called an old soul for most of your childhood.The thing is, the child version of an adult an actually being a grown up adult are very different beings. Take a look at your beliefs. Do they still apply now?Self-Worth – It can be very difficult to establish and maintain boundaries that are meant to protect your peace when you’re constantly putting others before yourself.If they're adults too, you can't take responsibility for their happiness and success. It's just not in your control.It isn’t bad to want to help others, but when your selflessness becomes a complete loss of self, it’s time to do some work on your own core values and boundaries.Your worth isn’t based on what you can do for others.Healing is Everything...Hi, I’m Andrea Richie, a certified Energy Therapist and HealerAfter a few years of growing my healing practice I started to see a common theme sabotaging my clients.

Your super power is... Problem Solving
Image Source
Ever watchful, with a keen eye for detail, you’re a highly cerebral person who likes to make observations, and figure out ways to improve. Your superbrain allows you to find out of the box solutions.You’re the one everyone wants in a crisis and you’re the first call when someone has a problem they need solved.You’re a fixer. Queen of finding loopholes and workarounds because you see connections that most people miss. You see everything as a puzzle and because of that there isn’t the emotional charge that complicates things.Are you using your super power for everyone but you?🚩 View the end product as the most important part of any undertaking.🚩 Trouble calling something finished, or take an excessive amount of time, until it’s done to impossible standards.🚩 Procrastination. Perfectionism can stall out tasks that you’re not confident you can crush.🚩Take an excessive amount of time to complete a task that does not typically take others long to complete.🚩 You’re exhausted, even though you don’t feel like you didn’t accomplish anything."“Life is a puzzle. Every piece fits together to create who we are, what we do, how we feel. Every experience shapes us into who we will eventually become.”" — KyleGetting To Know YouGrowing up you learned very quickly how to recognize patterns. This let you read a room and anticipate volatile situations. You were always thinking 10 steps ahead. Anticipating reactions, responses, and outcomes. You learned to reverse engineer situations. And may have felt like you needed to bend the truth to get the needed results.Balance – You've more than proven your skills at delivering excellence, but you’re starting to feel a bit like you're riding a train to burn out land.Striving to solve everyone’s problems can throw you out of balance. Somehow you’re left feeling like you’ve let someone down, somehow...That someone is you.Your computer brain works like a machine, but your heart brain was left to run out of gas long ago.In staying on top of the details, and taking care of business as usual, you forgot to pay attention to the more emotional needs of your soul.The grind of day-to-day life can become a repetitive, life-sucking rut if you aren’t careful to create healthy boundaries between work, play, and the everyday.Self-awareness – Are you jumping from crisis to crisis? Are you choosing to surround yourself with train wrecks so you can save the day?It can be hard to find the right friends or job to fulfill you and challenge you into new growth when you spend all your time averting the next crisis.Self-Worth – You’re not only worthy when you’re solving problems. I get that you’re amazing at this, but it isn’t the only strength you have.It isn’t bad to want to help others, but when your selflessness becomes a complete loss of self, it’s time to do some work on your own core values and boundaries.Healing is Everything...Hi, I’m Andrea Richie, a certified Energy Therapist and HealerAfter a few years of growing my healing practice I started to see a common theme sabotaging my clients.

Your superpower is... You can get along with anyone & see multiple points of view
Image Source
You’re the unanimously voted Life of the Party, always ready to entertain and eager for the next challenge or new thing.You are the ultimate PLUS 1 because you can thrive anywhere. From corporate outings to a kids birthday you have everyone eating out of your hand before it’s over. If there’s a crowd, you’re probably at the center of it.You always have something perfect for any occasion (because of this you might be a bit of an overpacker on trips).This isn’t just great for you, but you make the person you’re with shine as well. You have a light and welcoming vibe that puts everyone at ease.Not only that, but because you naturally understand all walks of people you have the unique ability to see multiple points of view. This makes you an excellent negotiator or moderator because you can find the commonalities and explain things in a way that makes sense to the individual.How do you know if your superpower is working against you?Do you:☑️ Avoid sitting still or idle☑️ Feel too overwhelmed by your past choices to learn from them, so you just try to ignore them☑️ Want to find peace and contentment, but every time you’re almost there, panic sets in☑️ Think vulnerability seems like a nice thing... for other people☑️ Focus on career, relationships, and success, instead of yourself☑️ Don’t trust yourself to learn from your mistakes☑️ Burn out easily and need lots of recovery timeIt’s ok, we all struggle with self-awareness sometimes, so if you don’t check any boxes, go back and try again, but be honest with yourself this time.“When I discover who I am, I’ll be free.” — Ralph EllisonGetting To Know YouGrowing up you learned it wasn’t safe to be different and everyone wanted a different version of you.So you created them. You became a chameleon. You watched the people around you and adopted the traits that were viewed as good.You were the good student. The quiet child. The cool friend. The girl next door girlfriend. The porn star in bed. The reliable employee.You’re still creating versions of you to fit in. Balance – The key to a happy life isn’t about everyone liking you, it’s all about balance.Balancing the authentic you with consideration for who you’re around. This doesn’t mean you change your personality, just that you highlight the complimentary pieces.Self-awareness – When it comes to hidden talents, you have an embarrassment of riches, but having so many things come easily can be a disadvantage all by itself.Being a gifted Jack of All Trades can leave you adrift, wondering what your real passion and purpose in life is.Self-Worth – For someone with such a seemingly strong sense of self, you can sometimes struggle with feeling out of place, which can all be tied back to self-worth. Or lack thereof.The real challenge for you is choosing the right life for you, instead of striving to fit into roles that don’t align with your soul.It isn’t bad to want to fit in with others, but when your selflessness becomes a complete loss of self, it’s time to do some work on your own core values and boundaries.Healing is Everything...Hi, I’m Andrea Richie, a certified Energy Therapist and HealerAfter a few years of growing my healing practice I started to see a common theme sabotaging my clients.

Your superpower is... Multi-tasking
Image Source
No matter how much is put on your plate you find a way to make it all work. You are the queen of multitasking and you make it look effortless. I’m not even sure if you know how to do one thing at a time. You’re a superhero to most people. They can’t figure out how you get it all done. Especially since it’s always done meticulously (there’s no half-assed effort here). You never say no. You just add it to your list and make it happen. Because you make it all look effortless (combined with the fact that you never say no) you're the first one everyone asks when they need something.How do you know if your superpower is sabotaging you?If you:☑️ Know that having low self-worth is a problem.☑️ Have a seriously hard time saying ‘no’☑️ Are always the first to volunteer, even if you’re too busy☑️ Struggle to make good decisions for yourself☑️ Know you deserve better but still have uncertainty☑️ Sometimes interpret feedback as criticism☑️ Feel like you can’t do anything right☑️ Get burned out and overwhelmed easilyIf you tick a few of those boxes, chances are good you could use some me time and some practice learning to say “NO”.“When you say yes to others, make sure you aren’t saying no to yourself.” — Paulo CoehloGetting To Know YouGrowing up you took on the role of the helper, putting everyone’s wants before your own needs.You were loved for it. You were the easy child. The helpful one. The one that went along with the program. The one that people relied on because no matter what they asked you’d say yes.You became a people pleaser so that hopefully you’d make everyone happy enough that you’d have a calm environment. Balance – You seem to give endlessly, but sometimes you’re left feeling stretched a bit thin, and maybe even unappreciated. For someone who loves to love others, it can be jarring and upsetting when your offerings aren’t appreciated. Resentment can sneak up on you and have you feeling irritable or worse, lead to burnout!Believe or not, resentment is a signal that you need some self care.Self-awareness – It’s easy to say yes in the moment, but how many things are you saying yes to when you really want to say no?.Taking on too much (or everyone’s overflow) can lead to a feelings of not being seen, heard, or appreciated.Self-Worth –When your love and support turned outward leaves you drained and angry, it’s time to look at your own worth and how you can align yourself to get what you want, and what you truly deserve.You see, as a loving, supportive person, it’s easy for others to take advantage of your generous heart.But why does that mean you so often have to come in last? It can be very difficult to establish and maintain boundaries that are meant to protect your peace when you’re constantly putting others before yourself.It isn’t bad to want to help others, but when your selflessness becomes a complete loss of self, it’s time to do some work on your own core values and boundaries.Healing is Everything...Hi, I’m Andrea Richie, a certified Energy Therapist and HealerAfter a few years of growing my healing practice I started to see a common theme sabotaging my clients.
