Description

Oh hey!

Thanks for joining us for another episode! Just a quick disclaimer, due to the current lockdown restrictions in Sydney, we have had to record this episode remotely so we ask that you bear with us while the sound quality might not be as good as it normally is. 

Okay let’s jump right in! In this episode we talk about motivation during lockdown (or lack thereof). Now it is completely understandable and normal to experience a lack of motivation during times like these. Lockdown and increasing restrictions can definitely impact your mood, energy levels and overall drive.

Firstly, we appreciate that there is value in consuming the media and news for what is going on around the country and world at the moment to stay informed and create a bit of perspective, however it is important to set boundaries. It is very easy to become overwhelmed by it all so it is worthwhile to be mindful of what you’re consuming when you’re feeling a little lost amongst it all.

It is also really important to be aware of what is in your control at the moment and what isn’t. Listen to what your mind and intuition is telling you, be selfish with your time and nurture your body with rest, movement and good food. Remember, what might work for someone else, may not work for you, so try not to compare yourself, especially on social media.

Finally, we want to remind you of a couple of things:

1. It is okay to unfollow or mute people on social media if their content isn’t making you feel happy at the moment. You can always go back and unmute or refollow later on.
2. You are responsible for your own happiness - don’t get caught up relying on other people or social media.
3. It is okay if you’re just doing whatever you have to do to get through each day
4. Reach out if you need it and keep up the social connection - You are not alone!
