This episode is all about Burnout and Lack of Motivation. Whether is with a job, family, working out, or just the hustle and bustle of life, this episode is full of useful nuggets to help you maneuver those moments when you the weight of the responsibilities starts to feel too heavy.
5 Things that can help Overcome Burnout:
1. Take Breaks - if you're behind a desk all day, this is super important. It's not always best or the most productive to just sit and grind all day.
2. Put away your digital devices - Especially when you're at home or on vacation. DO NOT take work with you.
3. Do something interesting - something you actually want to be doing, especially when things start to feel like a burden
4. Take long weekends; make it a stay-cation or go somewhere out of cell service and just unplug
5. Focus on meaning; THE WHY. This is that reminder that we have talked about a lot and it just keeps popping up.
Signs to look for when it comes to overtraining or burnout are going to be important for you to recognize the symptoms in order to address them and correct them.
Lifestyle-related signs of overtraining:
1. Prolonged general fatigue.
2. Increase in tension, depression, anger or confusion.
3. Inability to relax.
4. Poor-quality sleep.
5. Lack of energy, decreased motivation, moodiness.
6. Not feeling joy from things that were once enjoyable.
Taking some time to assess the situation and the emotions that come with it is a huge first step when deciding if what you're doing is what you should still be doing.
