In our fast-paced Western world, constant action, productivity, and hustle-mindset are rewarded and respected, often at the expense of rest, recovery, and long-term wellbeing. We are taught to keep pushing, not be “lazy”, and to strive for hard work 24/7, 365 days a year. As a result, many of us feel as though we are living out of sync with our bodies, to the extent of experiencing physical and mental symptoms such as fatigue, brain-fog, anxiety, digestive issues, chronic pain and more that significantly impact our day-to-day experiences.
