Why Our Current Wellness Culture Isn’t Creating Wellness

Many of us are on a path of seeking wellness.

We know we don’t feel good in our current culture, in our current state, in our current way of life - and we are aware that there are many, many different avenues for us to explore in terms of finding this wellness we’re missing.

There are countless experts, gurus, podcasters, teachers and teachings that all promise to provide us with the ‘secret’ we are all missing that is going to ‘hack’ or ‘crack the code’ on why we don’t feel good, and how we can shift so that we finally do.

There are a million different diets, meditation techniques, retreats, spiritual teachings, conspiracy theories, religions and so on - all that tell us that if we just follow their rules, if we just align our lives with their thoughts and beliefs and if we just become what they are telling us to be come, that in THIS we are going to find this elusive ‘wellness’ that seems to be ever escaping us.

We’re told that we don’t feel good because our diets are wrong. Our mental health is wrong. Our spirituality is off.

We’re told that we don’t feel good because we aren’t taking enough care of ourselves, we don’t love ourselves enough. We don’t have the right kind of boundaries.

We’re told over and over again that in order to be loved, accepted and seen as ‘worthy’ in our culture, we HAVE to be ‘well’ in a very specific way - we have to be physically in alignment with current beauty standards, we have to be able to consume and produce the way everyone else does, we have to have perfect love and relationships - and that if we are failing to have any of these things we are failing as humans.

The reality is, our current wellness culture isn’t creating wellness, because it’s not actually supporting us in finding ANY of the things that actually CREATE wellness.

It is, for the most part, a total distraction FROM the things that create wellness.

And THAT is what we’re going to explore today.
