Anti-Hustle for Your Health

Passion, goals, and a desire to better yourself are all good things. But the reality is constant hustle can be exhausting, stressful, and downright damaging to your health. Plus, the more we glorify the hustle, the more we feed the beast of busy –  and the more we praise the pursuit of personal goals above all else. We’ve talked before about the downside of multi-tasking, which has seemingly morphed into this grind, attack it, hustle mentality that is all the rage.

The problem with this mentality is that everything begins takes on the harshness of the hustle – not just your work, but your food, your self-care, your hobbies, your relationships. We rush until we wear ourselves down.

What if betterment means listening to your body more, like going for a walk outside at lunch instead of answering emails or returning calls. After all, what you don’t get done today can always happen tomorrow.

As another Monday arrives, remember – the best kind of hard work comes from a healthy, well-rests place. That’s healthy hustle.
