How to Recognize (And Deal With) Caution Fatigue

This episode of The Daily Distance is brought to you by The Roosevelt Collection, a Chicago destination in the heart of the South Loop neighborhood where life meets leisure. While we keep our distance, The Roosevelt Collection is helping us to sweat, eat, shop and relax together. They’re looking forward to seeing you in real life soon. 

Welcome to the Daily Distance, a new daily series from the creators of #WeGotGoals. In these short episodes, we’re bringing you one daily goal you can set for yourself during this chaotic time- one actionable thing you can do to move your body, connect with a friend, prioritize your mental health, get some work done, and practice a little bit of self-care.

Listen to hear ideas about how to identify caution fatigue in yourself, why she doesn’t think there’s any such thing as a “good meditator,” and what tracking apps she recommends to make sure all your health and wellness buckets are full.
