In this episode, we shed light on a very real but little talked about struggle of those suffering with burnout: the challenge of embracing effort again after burnout.
For many, words like “effort” or “hard work” trigger resistance. But what if effort could energize you instead of draining you? When we redefine effort as lively, healthy, and purposeful, it shifts from something to fear into something that makes you feel alive again.
Key Takeaways:
- Burnout and the Nervous System: After burnout, your body may resist effort because it associates it with harm. Drawing from the work of trauma-informed somatic practitioner Sarah Baldwin, I explain how you can show your nervous system that it's safe to move toward your goals by reconnecting with effort in a supportive and healthy way.
- Redefining Effort: How to Make It Energizing, Not Draining: Using first principles thinking, we break down the concept of "effort" and redefine it as something life-giving and energizing. When effort is rooted in purpose and vitality, it can propel you forward without the fear of burnout.
- Heartfelt Effort vs. Half-Hearted Effort: True effort comes from the heart, fueled by energy and engagement. When effort is half-hearted, it drains you. But when it’s heartfelt, it helps you feel fully alive and ready to take action.
- Consistency and Success: Struggling with effort often leads to fearing inconsistency. Successful people say what sets them apart is their commitment to stay consistent, no matter how long it takes. As Marie Forleo says, “Success doesn’t come from what you do occasionally. It comes from what you do consistently.” In this episode, we explore how, when effort is aligned with heart and purpose, consistency naturally follows, making progress energizing, rewarding, and inevitable.
Could falling back in love with effort be the key you've been looking for to unlock consistency?
