Bitesize Summer: You don't need to achieve something every moment of your life.
Manage episode 499138697 series 2793286
Remember the last time you were supposed to be relaxing but couldn't shake that nagging feeling you should be doing something "productive" instead? That's exactly what this bite-sized episode tackles – our complicated relationship with true rest in a world obsessed with achievement.
Drawing from personal experience, I share how I once couldn't fully enjoy beautiful vacations because I was mentally trapped in what I "should" be accomplishing. Whether sitting on an Italian beach feeling guilty for not writing enough words toward my book, or returning from holidays feeling like I needed another break just to recover, I've learned that our approach to relaxation profoundly impacts our wellbeing. The good news? There's a better way.
