The Beauty of Imperfection: Why Healthy Living Doesn't Require Perfectionism
Health doesn’t have a start and end point. Neither is it about doing a prescriptive list of things and only then you’ll feel reap the rewards and feel great. And if you can’t do them all, why bother with anything?
Watch.
“Striving for perfection can create a cycle of self-criticism and negative self-talk, leading to feelings of failure and disappointment when you inevitably falls short of your impossibly high expectations. This can cause stress, anxiety, and even depression, which can ultimately hinder progress towards your health and wellness goals.”
— Nicola Mercer
