The 4 traps we fall prey to are common. 

At the height of success, we end up in any, or all, of the 4 traps: 

𝐈. 𝐆𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 

𝐈𝐈. 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐲… “𝐰𝐨𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞.” 

𝐈𝐈𝐈. 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 

𝐈𝐕. 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐞… 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 

In this first part of the series, I explore Trap I: Going into hiding... the cave we retreat into when life feels heavy, when expectations press in, and when our confidence wavers.
