How Is Hustle Culture Bad For Your Health? [+ A Better Solution]

Imagine this…… You are craving cakes. You work hard, and put in a lot of effort, with full passion, to bake a delicious cake. Then, you do the nice frosting. And finally, your cake is ready. But, you can’t eat it.

Heartbreaking right?

The same happens when you hustle mindlessly. 

You and I hustle hard to satisfy our cravings for success.

But will we truly get to enjoy the rewards?

Now, hustling isn’t bad as such. But it definitely has a dark side.

The moment you put hustle over health, hustling becomes dangerous.

What is Hustle Culture? A simple Meaning 

Presently, people are living a fast-paced life where everyone is running restlessly after their goals, working tirelessly till exhaustion, having messed-up sleep cycles, and improper eating routines.

And guess what? We have normalized all this.

Results? Burnouts, anxiety, poor mental & physical health.

Even heart-related problems are no longer a matter of old age. These days, young people are facing it as well. 

All this is a consequence of unhealthy hustle culture, which promotes:

• Prioritizing work over health and everything else

• Glorifying long working hours while sacrificing sleep and free time

• Seeing time offs and breaks as ‘illegal’

• Being only centered around professional life and no social life

• Wearing burnout and being busy as a badge of honor

It’s high time we realize that being underslept and overworked isn’t a matter of pride. 

A person who is full of desires aims to achieve all the goals, willing to work hard, and make it in life essentially needs to be utmost healthy, both physically and mentally.

You might have enormous money in your bank account. Still, the supreme form of wealth you can ever have is good health.

Because no matter how many materialistic pleasures you have, you can’t enjoy life until you’re mentally and physically fit. No forms of luxuries and comforts can ever cover up for poor health.

What’s the point of baking the cake which you can’t eat and enjoy later?

A Better Solution

Everything has two faces. The same goes for hustle. 

Hustling is still a good thing when done sensibly, not mindlessly.

Sensible hustle is the one where you tick the right balance between health and hustle. When you understand that you eventually need good health to hustle for longer.

While mindlessly hustling is when you grind restlessly for hours, avoiding your health and mental peace. And end up miserable!

You certainly don’t want a miserable ending for your story, right? Then change the ending to a happy one — by embracing a healthy hustle, not an unhealthy one.

Here’s what a healthy hustle culture looks like:

• Achieving professional goals along with having proper sleeping and eating routine
• Taking enough breaks, they make you even more productive at work.
• Getting out of your professional bubble and talking to your loved ones 
• Taking time out for self-care and self-realization regularly 
• Prioritizing mental well-being over being busy and burnout 

So, when you’re tired, which is natural. Stop. Take a moment to check up on yourself.
