Hustle mentality is the concept that your self-worth and/or self-esteem should rely on how much you accomplish (specifically as quickly as possible). However, it’s a toxic mentality. Studies reported on in the ED Times show that hustle mentality puts the body in a fight or flight state, pumping out the stress hormone cortisol. Focus on detaching your sense of self-worth from how much you get done. That’s the first step to weaning oneself off of hustle culture.
