Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Who am I to have this?” Maybe it was when someone complimented you, when a big opportunity landed in your lap, or even when you eyed that cozy, slightly-too-expensive sweater that made you feel like the best version of yourself. If so, you’ve met one of the most sneaky saboteurs of happiness: low deservability.

Ever found yourself ghosting a perfectly decent human being who brought you soup when you were sick, just because it felt “too nice”? Or maybe you received a sudden influx of cash—from a refund, an unexpected bonus, or grandma’s guilt money—and instead of saving it, you impulse-bought an alpaca-patterned bean bag chair and a dozen varieties of gourmet hot sauce you’ll never actually use?

In today’s hustle culture, it can feel like the only way to earn more money is to work longer hours, take on more responsibilities, or turn your side hustle into a second full-time job. But what if you could increase your income without sacrificing your mental health, your relationships, or your peace of mind?
