Episode Description from the Publisher

How much of your life have you turned into something that needs fixing, improving, or optimizing? From your workouts and nutrition to your sleep, career, and daily routines, there's always another recommendation telling you how you could be doing things better. But at what point does trying to improve everything start working against you?      In this episode, I'm talking about why we're so quick to turn opportunities for improvement into expectations, especially when we're naturally achievement-oriented. I'll explore how exposure to a supposedly better approach can make you question something that's already working well, and why the pursuit of optimization can create more problems than it solves.      Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/229       Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/
