* tightening inwards, struggling and pushing to try harder
*  a sense of burden and heavy slogging through
* criticizing and pressuring yourself to try to get things perfect
* draining all your energy doing things for other people
* believing that your contributions aren't enough

If you value:

* peacefulness, healing, and self-understanding

* community and being in relation

* growth and becoming

* authenticity and creativity  

* contribution

"Though we may never find complete truth, the closer we come to it, the more clearly we see that we all love and worship this incredible planet we find ourselves inhabiting. We love and care for all species on it, including other human beings. Closer yet to the truth, we don’t know who or what we are without our connections with all other manifestations of life. We are essentially inseparable from the earth, from its creatures, and from each other. We are they and they are us, and when any one person, species, or ecosystem is impoverished, we are all impoverished. We have multitudes within us and we are interconnected with multitudes!"
