✨Lifemaxxing✨The social media trend built on optimising every part of your life for maximum output…
That’s sleep, diet, habits, fitness, skin care, daily routines.
The wellness space (and society) feeds this narrative, pushing the idea that we always need to be 100% and always constantly improving 😮💨
Real health and self-care means a balanced lifestyle, and that balance depends entirely on your own mind and body.
If you’re managing a chronic illness, pain or fatigue, your pace is different, and it’s set by you.
It’s not about waking before sunrise to ‘seize the day’, shocking your body by jumping from ice bath to sauna or performing a two-hour night-time wind-down routine 🧖🏼♀️
Try these things if you want to, of course, but slowly, with time to figure out what actually feels good.
It’s about resting.
Listening to your body when you wake up.
Not pushing through pain, but working with it.
Finding ways to get stronger and healthier without competing or sending your body and mind into a flare-up.
Going slow still counts outdoors too. Just two hours in nature has been linked to better health and wellbeing.
Be kind to yourselves 🌿
