Understanding Agitation and Its Impact on Self-Care
The podcast emphasizes the connection between agitation and the reluctance to engage in self-care activities, like meditation or journaling. When individuals experience high levels of agitation, typically rated around an 8.5 on a 10-point scale, they tend to avoid practices that require self-reflection or introspection. This avoidance often stems from the discomfort of facing the underlying agitation, which can be related to anxiety, burnout, or simple overwhelm. The discussion highlights that while ideal self-care may seem unreachable during particularly stressful times, simply reducing one’s agitation slightly can facilitate better choices and behaviors.
