info_outlineRecently, a colleague told me, “I’m totally burnt out, but I have to keep going to pay the bills. What do I do?”
Oooo, SUCH a juicy topic!
So much in the online coaching space is about “just relax into your feminine” or “honor rest, your cycle, your mood…etc,” but what do you do when you don’t have that option?
In this episode, we'll dive deep into the challenges of feeling exhausted, burnout, or “not in your vibes,” AND you’ll learn practical strategies to take care of your energy while still maintaining all of the responsibilities of your business and life.
By creating mental space, prioritizing tasks, and engaging in restorative practices, we can overcome burnout and continue to move forward with renewed energy and focus.
Here are some inspiring takeaways to keep in mind when dealing with burnout:
1. Allow yourself to feel and validate your emotions. Remember, it's okay to feel exhausted and overwhelmed when faced with multiple demands.
2. Create mental whitespace to prioritize your energy and attention. Identify the energy-draining issues and focus on what truly matters.
3. Do less, better. Instead of spreading yourself too thin, focus on high-impact tasks that move you forward and generate income.
4. Prioritize and eliminate unnecessary tasks. Focus only on those that directly serve your current clients or bring in new paying clients, and let go of the rest.
5. Focus on clear action steps and break down tasks into manageable steps to avoid feeling overwhelmed and promote a sense of accomplishment.
6. Slow down, but don't stop. Take small breaks throughout the day to rest and recharge without completely disengaging from work.
7. Practice "resting in the doing" and focus on completing tasks without judgment, even if you're not at 100%.
8. Incorporate “mini-vacations” to regulate your nervous system and find moments of calm amidst the chaos. Utilize techniques like yoga nidra or deep breathing exercises to find your inner peace.
