Just Because You Can, Doesn’t Mean You Should ☺️

You’re not here to prove your pain tolerance

You can fast for 36 hours.

You can do 16:8 every day.

You can push through hunger, fatigue, and still show up.

But do you have to?

That’s the better question.

And one we often forget to ask when we’re too busy chasing a number on a scale, a metric at work, or some badge of “discipline” that no one actually awarded us 🏅

Maybe the deeper wisdom isn’t in proving what you can survive —

but in choosing what actually serves.

Let’s break this myth

You can:

• Eat two sets of McD meals 🍔🍟 — but must you?

• Tolerate endless nonsense 🙄 — but should you?

• Take on twice the workload — but for what?

Sometimes we confuse ability with alignment.

And in doing so, we override the signals our body, mind, or spirit are whispering.

(And later… screaming.)

The difference between pushing through and moving smart?

One wears you down.

The other holds you up.

💭 You don’t need to suffer to succeed.

💭 You don’t need to max out to make it work.

💭 You don’t need to prove your strength — you just need to honour your system.
