The today's episode argues that much of what people label as "stress" stems from people-pleasing behaviour. This involves consistently neglecting one's own needs to satisfy others, creating mental instability due to the inherent unreliability of relying on external validation.

Ultimately, addressing the root cause of self-abandonment is crucial for reducing this type of stress.

The feelings of being "stuck" stem from a lack of momentum, not an insurmountable obstacle.

This process improves not only one's physical state but also their mental and emotional well-being.
