We explore the three major barriers that derail wellness journeys and how to navigate through them for sustainable health. Overwhelm, perfectionism, and envy create mental roadblocks that prevent consistent progress and satisfaction with our wellness efforts.

• Situations often lead to overwhelm when we take on more than our emotional and mental capacity can handle
• Perfectionism is "petty AF" - focusing on nitpicky details instead of the bigger wellness goal
• When we can't execute perfectly, we often abandon our efforts entirely rather than adapting
• Comparing ourselves to others (envy) makes us miss our own progress and opportunities
• Others' wellness results usually represent years of consistent effort we don't see
• Breaking down overwhelming tasks into manageable steps matches your current capacity
• Allow yourself to feel silly or awkward when trying something new - it's part of the process
• Work with what you have rather than waiting for perfect conditions
• Real wellness is "boring as hell" - the exciting part is the freedom it gives you in life
• The same energy used for complaining could be redirected to execution
