Low-Level Decision Fatigue in the Wellness World
In today's fast-paced and information-rich world, taking care of our health has become more important than ever. With countless diet trends, exercise routines, and wellness advice bombarding us from every direction, it's no wonder many of us find ourselves experiencing "low-level decision fatigue." This subtle form of mental exhaustion can lead to feelings of overwhelm, indecision, and even hinder our progress towards a healthier lifestyle.
But first, what exactly is it?
Low-level decision fatigue in the wellness world refers to the mental weariness we experience due to the overwhelming amount of health-related information available. From fad diets promising quick results to conflicting exercise routines and constantly evolving health recommendations, it's easy to feel lost in a sea of choices, can you relate?! You’ll find 3 of our favorite ways below to avoid & deflect it!
1) Create a Schedule and Stick to a Routine
One of the most effective ways to combat low-level decision fatigue is to establish a schedule and stick to a routine. Having a daily or weekly plan in place eliminates the need to constantly decide on new actions, so you’re spending less time in your thoughts and more time on your health journey. Set specific times for meals, workouts, and self-care activities. This way, you won't waste precious mental energy contemplating what to do next, allowing you to focus on enjoying each moment and making progress toward your goals.
2) Follow a Program
At times, the endless number of workout options you can find right on YouTube can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Instead of spending hours debating which exercises to include in your routine, consider following a comprehensive program like the one in the BBH Fit App. Our summer program "Booty Camp," focuses on building strong, shapely glutes while offering a well-balanced approach to the entire body. By enrolling in a structured fitness plan, you can save yourself from decision fatigue and trust that the experts have already done the thinking for you! (More details below on Booty Camp).
3) Repeat Meals then Switch it Up
In the realm of nutrition, decision fatigue can also arise from constantly planning new meals. To avoid this, consider repeating meals for a week or two before switching it up. This practice not only simplifies your grocery shopping but also ensures you receive a consistent intake of essential nutrients. Once you've established a good stock of healthy meals, it becomes easier to swap them out and maintain a balanced diet without sacrificing variety. MYTH: Eating healthy does NOT have to taste boring & bland!
