If you?re feeling stuck between pushing yourself harder or giving yourself grace, you aren?t alone. You have amazing capabilities?but your capacity can vary based on different factors in life. In the long run, always choosing to push yourself harder can end up derailing you and have a huge negative impact on your health, your relationships, and the other important areas of your life.
In today?s episode our host, Bevin Farrand, discusses the difference between knowing you are capable of pushing yourself harder and your actual capacity to do so. Capacity is not fixed, but will ebb and flow depending on what?s happening in your life. Rather than holding yourself to a rigid standard, it?s important to allow for flexibility in your goals and expectations.
If that sounds familiar and you?re someone who likes to get things done (like Bevin!), this is a crucial conversation for you.
You will hear how to evaluate and prioritize your goals, the importance of grounding yourself so you can listen to your body and intuition, being aware of how your health is being affected, and allowing yourself grace and compassion when taking a step back.
Sometimes pushing a little less is the best course of action, and we want to show you how and why.
Tune in for this and more!
