Are you tired of hustle culture? Of always delivering and showing up for everyone even when you’re tired and need some space for yourself?

Identifying as a high achiever or as a “giver” can end up creating problems - including health problems - if we don’t learn to pay attention to our bodies telling us when they need rest.

Oftentimes the way we’ve been socialized to show up in the world is counterproductive for wellbeing, and if we want to create an abundant lifestyle, we have to unlearn some old habits and foster new, more self-caring ones.

In episode 8 of the Asian Detox Podcast, TJ Wey and guest Aayaan explore some common socialized character traits in Asian Americans and how to navigate from the unhealthy side-effects of those behavioral patterns to fostering sustainable wellbeing, highlighting:

• Uncoupling being a high achiever from our identity and adjusting our self-concept as we grow
• Recognizing that as we evolve into greater leadership roles, we have more impact on the people around us and the responsibility that comes with that
• The narrative of being a “giver” and learning to put our own oxygen masks on first in order to live an abundant life
• Learning to bring all of ourselves to the table and to verbalize what’s important to us as well as our growth edges
• Recognizing that we’re in a period of accelerated culture-creation and our own healing journeys are part of creating a culture of wellbeing

“This person shining their light makes me want to step in it and shine my own light brighter and that’s how we create wellbeing that’s sustainable - because nobody can completely thrive alone at all times, and when we thrive that has a ripple effect and to me, that is how we create wellbeing; it doesn’t just stop at one person. And that’s also how we create a culture of wellbeing.”
