Just a little reminder at this time of year 💁🏼♀️
The conflicting, guilt-ridden messages are about to descend so I want to bring a bit of calm to this impending noise for a moment 💆🏼♀️
I get that a lot of these messages are about motivating you and grabbing your attention (especially) during the ‘fresh start effect’.
For some people it works for a period of time - which is why it’s still happening right? 🤷🏼♀️
But for many, it can be off-putting, leaving them feeling crap because what’s being sold is unsustainable and far from personal to their situation. That, and the fact that most people also don’t enjoy the pressure 🫨
As someone who’s been there, done that and now 8+ years working in the industry - it can honestly feel like a watching a wrecking ball of destruction at times 💥
Your health matters yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever. So how you approach it should be manageable and therefore tailored to you. It all starts with forming a routine that supports this.
Your health IS essential. I agree it does need to be prioritised. But I also think that the pressure and unrealistic expectations deter people from finding enjoyment and necessity in it.
There is something out there for everyone. So take what you see and read with a pinch of salt, filter out the noise and find something that feels good for YOU 🙏🏼✨
