Sometimes, we worry so much about the outcome of a task, that we fail to give our heart and soul in executing it to perfection. “Detaching from outcomes is vital for healthy productivity because it shifts your focus from external validation to internal growth and satisfaction. When you become overly fixated on specific results, your sense of self-worth and motivation often fluctuate based on whether those outcomes are achieved. This mindset can lead to increased stress, fear of failure, and even burnout,” wrote Therapist Israa Nasir.(Freepik)
