Episode notes

If you have ever tried to engage in basic wellness habits like exercise, drink water, getting better sleep or rest, eating whole foods, putting yourself in spaces to learn new things then you know that the more you engage in these habits the better mentally you feel. And if you don't know this yet, it possible you haven't engaged in the wellness habits consistently enough to recognize the difference but have heard time and time again that doing so will help you. Today's episode I am breaking down why we struggle to do the wellness habits we want to even though we know they will help us feel better. I provide 5 reasons we have these barriors using research-based evidence to help raise your awareness and work towards incorporating these habits into your life in a way that is much more effective than sheer willpower and "trying harder." If you have a goal of feeling better mentally or you just struggle to incorporate basic wellness into your life, and want to, this episode is for you.
