It starts with chronic, low-level stress and grows into all forms of discrimination such as bullying, gender pay-gap and medical misdiagnoses. The solution to fight this exclusion and stigmatization is to tune into your body’s needs rather than blindly following society’s one-standard-fits-all mantra. Body types come in all shapes and sizes but starting from as young as six years of age, girls begin to show weight-control behaviour. The patriarchy has not only marketed this as the most beautiful but also the healthiest. Women are expected to achieve an unattainable, aspirational, ideal look. The key is to manage the ‘monitor’ in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration. The authors explain why in addition to defining a winning relationship with the goal, one must also redefine the goal’s relationship with failing and see the inadvertent benefits that come from not meeting targets. Stress also causes frustration from not meeting your goals. The book elaborates what you can do to complete the biological stress cycle – and return your body to a state of relaxation. Stress is not bad for you being stuck is harmful. It is important to differentiate the two. This is characterised by a moral obligation to ‘give’ their humanity to the Human Beings – offer their time, attention, affection and bodies willingly, without demanding anything in return.ĭealing with stress is separate from dealing with the stressors that cause stress. The book begins by explaining the Human Giver Syndrome – the biggest cause of emotional exhaustion in women. This book explains why women experience burnout differently than men – and provides a simple, science-based plan to help women minimize stress, manage emotions and live a more joyful life. How can you ‘love your body’ when everything around you tells you you’re inadequate? How do you ‘lean in’ at work when you’re already giving 110% and aren’t recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a world that is constantly telling you you’re too fat, too needy, too noisy and too selfish? The gap between what it’s really like to be a woman and what people expect women to be is a primary cause of burnout, because we exhaust ourselves trying to close the space between the two.
“We thrive when we have a positive goal to move towards, not just a negative state we’re trying to move away from.”
