Episode notes
There are three things you need to know about burnout.
Discipline, motivation, and do you actually need a break?
The question you should ask yourself is: Do You Need a Push or a Pause?
“You seem pretty unmotivated for a girl who wants to do it all.”
Yeah... that one called me out.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about motivation, burnout, and what to do when you feel stuck in a rut. Because sometimes I really do want to do all the things. I have goals I care about, people I want to show up for, and things I’m excited about. But I still have days where I feel completely unmotivated.
In this episode of Claire in a Chair, we’re talking about how to get out of a rut without convincing yourself that you need to completely reinvent your life. I share the advice my friends gave me when I was feeling stuck, including the simple “Babes, go on a walk” reminder that I apparently needed to hear.
We also talk about something I’m trying to get better at asking myself: Do I need a push, or do I need a pause?
Sometimes you need the push to get off your phone, go outside, start the assignment, clean your room, or just do the tiny thing you’ve been putting off.
Other times, you genuinely need a break. You need to close the laptop, sleep, hang out with people you love, do something fun, and come back when your brain has had a chance to reset.
Both can be productive in completely different ways.
If you’re a teenager dealing with burnout, stress, low motivation, school pressure, feeling overwhelmed, or just not feeling like yourself lately, this episode is for you.
Getting out of a rut doesn’t have to be a huge transformation. Sometimes one tiny thing can make you start feeling like yourself again.
