Wellness porn

Not all clickbait is poisonous. Sure, ragebait lures you in, but so does so-called ‘wellness porn’.

An entire industry now exists to serve up glossy, slowmotion lives: glowing skin, oat-milk serenity, linen trousers, sunrise journalling, and suspiciously empty inboxes.

It looks effortless and fulfilling. Followers are aroused by the portrayal of an aspirational lifestyle. They want that lifestyle.

For the wellness ‘porn star’, it often doubles as a hunt for validation. Likes become applause and the audience becomes proof that the lifestyle works – even when it doesn’t.

Like actual porn, it’s a performance.

We all have a nagging internal dialogue that tells us how rubbish we are...

Bad news – it’s built into the human operating system

Good news - you can learn to recognise it for what it is, turn the volume down a notch, & live an amazing life
