Hello loves,I’m really into the messaging I’ve seen lately from people like Struggle Care who are declaring that care tasks are morally neutral (swoon emoji). I have been having some similar thoughts about “wellness”. The pursuit of health is a set of skills you develop based on your own results, not a virtue to strive for. There are plenty of people who are out there sharing their yoga practice or fasting schedule or super clean diet, but this does not mean that they are doing what is best for their bodies or for yours. We are all unique individuals and we’re often not getting the whole story anyway. Foods and habits and bodies aren’t good or bad. Feeling good about something is not the same as feeling good. It’s 2023 and we’re done with binaries. Do what truly brings you joy or makes you feel calm or supports your energy. Be honest with yourself about what those things are and accept that it might not look like anyone else’s list or be perfect. Focus on what gets you where you want to go. Most importantly, know your why. I was struggling with a few to-dos this week and I realized I needed a reframe on why these things needed to be done. Having an authentic motivation for a task or behavior quiets the “rebel” voice who wants to do the opposite. It brings you into alignment, which is a fancy way of saying your intentions match your actions. Want to learn more? Join me tonight at 5:30 PST and I can help you sort through the noise.
