from Mindful Moves · host Daniela Jentsch

Do you ever feel like you’re running out of time? As we approach the end of the year, it’s natural to look back and reflect. However, for many of us, this reflection leads to a heavy feeling of being "behind" in life. Whether it’s career goals, relationship milestones, or financial status, we often measure our worth against a prescribed timeline that might not even belong to us.In today’s episode of Mindful Moves, I dive deep into the psychology of "stagnancy" and why our nervous systems feel a sense of urgency to achieve. We discuss how modern social media has amplified our comparison trap from a local level to a global scale, making us feel like we're constantly losing a race.In this episode, you will learn:- Why "Glow Ups" and radical New Year's resolutions can actually hurt your progress.- How to build an intimate relationship with yourself to uncover your true desires.- The power of redefining your idea of success.- How to find your own pace and stop focusing on a future that hasn't happened yet.- Stop chasing a timeline that doesn't fit your soul. It's time to meet yourself in the present moment.
