Hello again! Happy last day of August, & happy full (blue) mooooooooon!!!!
Today we will talk about the aesthetic that we have attributed to health and wellbeing online- particularly departing from the grind culture and "that girl" tropes, and how these highly curated ideas may be impacting us.
I personally have fallen victim to the effects of internalising a (very) damaging narrative that we have attributed to health within the west, under the terms of capitalism and an unrealistic lifestyle that does not take into account many complexities.
I am not against people who follow this lifestyle, in fact I do align with a lot of the values from this trope online- however, I do want to bring into the table a conversation to de-glamourise the "hustle" and "glow up" culture that we seem to be so obsessed with.
This might be **controversial**, so I am super keen to hear your thoughts, ideas, and experiences. As always, this is coming from my personal journey and from the insight I have gotten working with specialists in my own life- I do not attempt to impose any of my believes and ideas in here, and certainly this ISNT medical or professional advice (as you might have guessed), I just truly felt compelled to record this as I keep realising how white-washed our ideals around health and wellbeing are.
Thank you for stopping by <3333
