Burned Out From Beating Yourself Up? Here's a Better Way
Self-criticism is sneaky.
It dresses up like motivation, whispering things like “You should’ve done more” or “Why can’t you get it right?” And at first, it might feel like it's pushing you forward. But eventually, it just wears you down.
That mental heaviness you’re carrying?
The constant second-guessing, guilt, and invisible pressure to be perfect?
That’s burnout, and a lot of it comes from the way you speak to you.
But there is a better way. You don’t have to hustle through life with a harsh inner voice as your coach. You can still grow, improve, and show up for your goals, but from a place of grace instead of grit-your-teeth pressure…
Understanding Anger: The Emotion We Love to Hate
We've all been there.
That moment when your face flushes, your jaw clenches, and suddenly you're seeing red. Maybe someone cut you off in traffic, your boss took credit for your work, or a loved one crossed a line. In that instant, anger feels like fire in your veins - powerful, consuming, and impossible to ignore.
But here's what most of us never learned: anger isn't the villain we've made it out to be.
Society has taught us to fear anger, suppress it, apologize for it. We're told that "good people" don't get angry, that it's destructive and dangerous…
One Positive Action
Try a Physical Challenge
Moving your body a little more than usual can significantly help you improve your mental wellness. Maybe it’s taking a walk when you’d usually scroll your phone, trying a workout video that’s been sitting in your saved list, or adding just a few extra reps to your workout routine. You are probably going to experience some discomfort, but discomfort in movement isn’t a sign to stop. Let discomfort be a signal that you’re stepping into self improvement.
When you challenge yourself physically, you can build more than just strength and muscle. You are showing yourself that you can push through resistance, and that you have the mental strength to keep going when something gets tough. You start trusting yourself more and seeing that you’re capable of facing challenges, not just in workouts but in daily life, decisions, and in moments where quitting used to feel easier.
When your legs keep moving, your arms keep lifting, or your body keeps flowing through something new, you realize that your limits are more flexible than you thought. Your mind sharpens, your focus improves, and your energy shifts. It becomes less about how you look and more about how you feel in your own skin.
Choose one physical challenge. It can be something small, like stretching, beginner yoga, or a brisk. Or something more challenging, like trying a new class or finishing that tough workout you’ve been avoiding. Let yourself sweat, breathe, and move past what feels easy. You’re not just building strength, you are also improving your mental health.
