1. Pushing Through Fatigue Instead of Recovering

🔥 The Mistake: You believe “powering through” will make you stronger, but it actually drains you further.

😡 Why You Hate It: You end up exhausted, burnt out, and unable to focus—yet you still feel guilty about resting.

2. Following Generic “Self-Care” Advice That Doesn’t Work for You

🔥 The Mistake: You try bubble baths, journaling, or random wellness trends, hoping it will “fix” your stress.

😡 Why You Hate It: Those things don’t address your biometric reality—real recovery is about tracking what actually works for your body, not following generic advice.

3. Eating “Healthy” but Still Feeling Like Crap

🔥 The Mistake: You eat foods you think are good for you (like whole grains, high-carb meals, or trendy superfoods) without realizing your body struggles to process them.

😡 Why You Hate It: You’re doing everything “right” but still feel sluggish, inflamed, and restless.

4. Trying to Fix Sleep Without Fixing Recovery

🔥 The Mistake: You take sleep supplements, buy fancy mattresses, or force yourself to “get 8 hours” but wake up feeling drained.

😡 Why You Hate It: Sleep isn’t just about time—it’s about deep recovery. You need to fix stress, food, and heart rate regulation first.

5. Ignoring Heart Rate and Stress Until You Crash

🔥 The Mistake: You don’t realize that feeling “unstoppable” is actually a stress response (high cortisol, adrenaline spikes).

😡 Why You Hate It: You think you’re doing great—until your body forces you to stop.

6. Thinking “Rest” Means Doing Nothing

🔥 The Mistake: You assume recovery = being lazy and feel guilty when you take a break.

😡 Why You Hate It: You don’t realize recovery is actually proactive. It’s about optimizing habits so you feel good every day—not just when you crash.
