81- When Self-Improvement Becomes Self-Pressure
from Grow Through It · host juliamaclellan
In this episode, I’m talking about the fine line between self-improvement and self-pressure, and how something meant to better your life can start to feel like it’s never enough. I share my experience with 75 Hard and the guilt that can come with slower days, easier workouts, or simply not going “all in” all the time. I dive into the deeper reasons behind this pressure, from high standards to nervous system patterns and the need to feel worthy through doing more. If you’ve ever felt like you can’t slow down, struggle to feel satisfied with your progress, or feel like you always need to be doing more, this episode is for you. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me on Instagram. IG- @growthroughit.pod Ask Anonymous Questions
