76: If You're Feeling the Funk

Feeling blue at work?

Malaise?

Dragging a bit?

Feeling the funk?

Yeah, we know those feelings, and at some point, everyone has. It might start with a restlessness or feelings that can best be described as "blah", and while we might think we're doing a good job faking it, it starts to show in our actions and in our work.

How do we know the difference between feeling funky because we're bored or need a break, or feeling the funk because it's really time to make a significant change?

Let's talk about it.

We talk about the clues we experience when we're at the point of funk, how genuine self-care can help, the risks of impulsive and drastic action, and how time can be our ally in the search the right path.

We also offer useful questions for self-exploration and generating healthy options for handling the funk, that don't involve burning it all down (h/t to Parliament and Talking Heads in this one!)
