The article discusses how societal expectations and toxic norms affect personal authenticity and wellness. It highlights how many behaviors that are commonly accepted, such as not having free time and working from bed, are detrimental to our well-being. By normalizing these harmful practices, individuals experience increased stress, burnout, and resentment, preventing them from pursuing a life they are proud of. The piece emphasizes that these struggles are often due to external pressures rather than personal failures, suggesting a need to reevaluate and challenge our accepted norms.
We've normalized toxic behaviors, traits, and ideas that sabotage our ability to find peace and lead to unnecessary stress, resentment, anger, and exhaustion.
