On a daily basis, we are trying to juggle and balance so many things. Wake up early to exercise, meditate, journal, spend quality time with close ones. And squeeze in hard, quality work in the middle of all of this.
No wonder you’re exhausted. Keeping up with such a dynamic pace can be overwhelming. It’s like being on a treadmill that never stops running.
This pressure to perform at a high level is the number one reason we are overeating or overdrinking. It’s easy to binge at the end of an exhausting day. You feel like you deserve to treat yourself. It feels wonderful to pop that cork open before going to sleep.
Thing is, this is not a sustainable way of living. If you’re all over the place, you’re nowhere really. You won’t be present when spending time with your family. You’ll be busy thinking of the things that you think you SHOULD do, even though maybe you don’t want to do them.
You have the power to choose a different, healthier lifestyle. After all, you chose to live in “the grind” and you can choose to stop living that way. Realizing that you have this choice is empowering.
I go all over this in today’s episode, in which you’ll learn:
How to take back control over your schedule.
How to audit where the overwhelm in your life is coming from.
The Pressure Cooker Effect and why it often happens to super driven people.
Strategies for embracing the fact that you have the power to choose what you love to do, not what you think you should do.
Being mindful of the language we use with ourselves.
The steps I talk about in this episode are the things you should be mindful of on a daily basis. Implementing them will bring you closer to ditching the things that bring you misery, and steer towards the ones that bring you joy.
