Whether it’s dry brushing after every shower or remembering to start every day with a hot lemon water, looking after our health seems to take more and more energy. No wonder the pursuit of wellness is leaving us feeling exhausted, writes Laura Avery.
. Before I knew it, I was weighed down with the pressure to become ‘more well’, despite clearly not having the time to maintain any additional habits.You may also like, you’re already stressed and at capacity. You don’t have the control and the willpower required to achieve key health goals, and finding the energy to try again feels like a never-ending battle you know you’ll never win.
according to what we see others do on social media, we might not possess the skills to maintain the behaviour needed to achieve them.“If you think about it, we are flooded with information – which is exhausting in itself – and when you start pushing yourself to do things that aren’t fuelled by your internal motivation, it unconsciously sets standards impossible to keep up with.”It is important to remember that social media is an influencer’s highlight reel.
In short, copying others’ goals without consideration for your personal circumstance or internal motivations is why you’re bound to feel emotionally drained and fail.It’s Monday and you’re feeling really motivated. But by the time Wednesday comes around, life gets in the way; come 4pm, you’ve given up. This all-or-nothing approach is another way that will drain your emotional battery.
“Whether it is committing to a daily gym workout when you start from zero or making a dramatic dietary intervention, it’s inevitable that you’re going to fall short because this mindset is very black-and-white – an all-or-nothing approach. But the truth is, there’s a grey territory in the middle that is a lot more realistic.”
