The Wellness Fallacy: Professional Women Need More than Mantras
January 30, 2024, 11 a.m. CT
What Is It?
As a professional woman do you find at times that you’re confused, disappointed, even ashamed? You don’t quite understand how after busting your behind to get *here* you feel empty and disillusioned.
What a waste of time – following the rules, jumping through hoops, plastering on a smile, making sacrifices, being “nice” – only to feel depleted and duped!
The systems and structures we inhabit to advance our lives do provide opportunities. At the same time, they can be unfair, oppressive, biased, and broken.
This paradox continues to exist and justify itself by placing responsibility squarely on you. If it’s not working for you, it’s up to you to fix yourself: Do what you need to do to get it right – Go for run. Meditate. Get more sleep. Drink a smoothie. Book a massage. Take this supplement. Scream into a pillow!
Your wellness – emotional, environmental, mental, physical, social, and spiritual – is one more external achievement you must navigate.
This is the wellness fallacy.
” A woman’s health is her capital.”
~ Harrriet Beecher Stowe
What You Must Know
The solution for wellness isn’t going to be found outside of you.
Wellness lives within your personal decisions and choices. When they align with your values you will have clarity. And this will lead you to living a life with purpose.
In its most simple form, it comes down to living with authenticity.
Determining what is authentic to you is how you build the foundation of wellness.
The state of wellness does not exist in a state of struggle. It is a state of homeostasis.
Homeostasis is defined as a self-regulating process by which a living organism can maintain internal stability while adjusting to changing external conditions.
What does it take to find that?
