I think this is a very good question. It's also a very difficult question to answer, because the answer is: it depends...
Ever wondered if you're being too tough or too lenient with yourself when feeling down? This episode of 'The One You Feed' dives into that very dilemma. Host Eric Zimmer, who knows the struggles of depression firsthand, compares it to an emotional flu and stresses the importance of a solid self-care routine to keep it at bay. But what should you do when you're in the thick of it?
Should you push yourself to stick to healthy habits, or is it okay to ease up and rest? Zimmer explores both sides, noting that it often depends on your natural tendencies. For some, a gentle nudge might be what's needed, while others might benefit from giving themselves a break. He also highlights the critical role of seeking medical help when depression becomes overwhelming.
Through his personal experiences and practical advice, Zimmer advocates for a holistic approach that covers physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Tune in for a thoughtful discussion on finding the right balance between self-compassion and self-discipline.
