If you’re honest, what does your week look like? Packed with plans, filled with social activities, and somewhere in between… exhausted? When did “fun” suddenly become something you have to recover from?
The impact of social pressure on your mind and body is often underestimated, according to stress expert Elke Van Hoof. She explains why filling up your schedule isn’t the same as gaining energy, and how you can unknowingly fall into a pattern of feeling obligated and trying to please others.
When you cross your social boundary, your brain becomes overstimulated, and even pleasant moments start to weigh on you. That’s problematic. Elke introduces the concept of social balance and how you can realign yourself with what you truly need.
