The Cost of Always Being ‘On’

Coming Soon

November 8, 2025

Why intuitive people mistake pressure for purpose and how clarity, not control, sharpens results.

Arianna Huffington’s wake-up call

In 2007, Arianna Huffington, then at the height of The Huffington Post’s success, collapsed from exhaustion, breaking her cheekbone as she fell.

She’d been running on empty for months, believing that constant drive was the sign of a meaningful life.

That moment changed everything.

She rebuilt her empire around one principle: success that costs your clarity is too expensive.

She founded Thrive Global to prove that calm isn’t weakness, it’s the space where wisdom lands.

For Intuitive-Sensitives, that distinction is vital.

When your awareness is naturally wide, pressure feels like control, a way to keep chaos at bay.

But that very tension blocks your intuitive accuracy.

The body can’t receive truth while it’s bracing against it.

When pressure feels like purpose

Intuitive people often confuse hyper-awareness with intuition.

You scan, sense and anticipate. You think that being “on” keeps you safe from mistakes or disapproval.

But hyper-awareness isn’t intuition, it’s survival dressed as insight.

Overachieving tightens your intuitive lens until everything looks like a potential threat.

Your natural clarity turns into noise.

Intuition speaks quietly. It doesn’t push; it presents.

The moment you soften, without collapsing, you start to hear it again.

Do This Now (1-Minute Reset)

  1. Write one sentence about what you’re currently pushing.

Example: “If I stop chasing this, it will all fall apart.”

  1. Place your hand at the centre of your chest.

Breathe out and ask:

“Am I sensing this… or controlling it?”

  1. If your energy drops, don’t force yourself to fix it.

Step away for a moment, stretch, breathe or delay your next move by ten minutes.

That pause reopens your intuitive channel. It teaches your system that guidance only flows when it’s not being gripped.

3 Reminders for Intuitive-Sensitives

  • Tension scrambles intuition. When your nervous system feels under threat, it interprets everything as a signal
  • Ease expands perception. The more relaxed your body, the more accurate your insights
  • You don’t lose your edge by softening, you find your truth

Take This Into Your Life Now

Notice one moment this week when you felt the pressure to “hold it all together.”

Pause for sixty seconds and ask, “What if I let my system breathe here?”

See what rises when you stop managing everything.

Then share your experience in the private group because your moment of release might help someone else realise that intuition sharpens through ease, not effort.
