Summary
Thank you guys for your patience the past month while I took some time off! Today'e episode i'm talking about tips for when you feel unmotivated and like you don't want to do anything. We touch on seasonal depression as well as feeling burnout. I also give some life + dating updates, since I haven't chatted with you guys in a month!
My tips for burnout:
1. Take a break when you need to
2. Let yourself feel how you feel & not be guilty about it
3. If you can, schedule in some you-time to re-evaluate your goals, meditate, relax, self care, even if just 1 night. If you can, book time away to re-center even if just a quick staycation
4. Try to break up your routine so every day doesn’t feel the same - doing things at different times, getting excited about little things
5. Remember why you’re doing what you’re doing
My tips for when you don’t feel like doing anything at all / getting motivated:
1. The hardest part is getting out of bed & getting up. Once you do that, things already get easier.
2. First thing after you get up, have something you look forward to: making a new coffee, playing a record or some music to get you going, something that’s a mood booster for you
3. Let yourself have a full lazy day or night without feeling bad about it! Then start tomorrow off on a new, fresh foot
4. Our bodies will slowly adjust to the time & season change, but so many people struggle with this time of year! It is hard to get used to it again.
5. Have things to look forward to & work towards: a dinner or night out/in at the end of the week, a future trip, girls night in with friends, even a TV show you make an event of watching every week. It’s the little things!

| 0:00.0 | Hello, you guys, and welcome back to Unfiltered with me, Lindsay Hughes. So today is November 13th. It's |
| 0:20.0 | Friday the 13th right now. You guys will hear this next Monday, but I ended up |
| 0:25.1 | taking a little bit of time off of the podcast for the past three weeks, which was a little bit |
| 0:30.7 | unplanned. I didn't like announce in my last episode that I was going to do that. So I just |
| 0:34.6 | want to say, first of all, like thank you guys so much. If you are a regular, you know, weekly listener for your patience during the time that I decided |
| 0:43.4 | to take off. I haven't done that the whole time I have started the podcast, which started in February. |
| 0:49.6 | And I kind of wanted to talk about that just like a little bit at the beginning of this episode. |
| 0:53.2 | And then I wanted to go into like how I've been feeling recently hint hint very unmotivated very like sure a lot of us are feeling this way right now but very very affected by the time change and the weather change it just feels like it simultaneously happened. It's about six o'clock |
| 1:11.7 | right now when I'm filming this or recording this. So this is kind of one of my chill, really just like |
| 1:18.7 | not that planned out, just kind of stream of consciousness episodes. I hope you guys will enjoy it. |
| 1:24.6 | I've done a few of these before, like late night episodes. I mean, it's really not late right now, but it feels like 11 p.m. But it's only six. I'm sure many of you guys know what I'm talking about. But I have a glass of wine and I'm excited to just catch up with you guys. So in this episode, I want to touch on dealing with feeling unmotivated and burnt out because I for at least the past |
| 1:46.4 | month have really been feeling like that. And I haven't felt this way in quite a while. And I do |
| 1:51.8 | think that a lot of people are kind of feeling unmotivated, unproductive right now with these |
| 1:57.2 | winter months setting in. So I definitely want to touch on that and talk about some tips |
| 2:01.8 | that I came up with five top tips that I have for experiencing burnout. And then also five |
| 2:08.3 | tips that I have for feeling like you just don't want to do anything. But we're going to talk about |
| 2:13.6 | that. I also want to talk about, you know, why I took this break from the podcast and kind of |
| 2:18.8 | the future of the podcast. And then I want to give a few life updates on things that I've been up to |
| 2:24.2 | the past month since it really feels like I haven't, you know, sat down and talked to you guys |
| 2:28.1 | and so long. And I've missed getting out my microphone and just chatting with you guys in this |
| 2:33.6 | casual fun way that we do. So |
| 2:36.0 | once again, I just want to say thank you guys so much for your patience during this time. |
