Mentioned on Ep 129: Feeling down and fatigued half-way through the day? In a midday funk?
Welcome back to The Burnout Doctor Podcast, I’m your host Dr. Jessica Louie. We are talking about how to pull out of a midday funk today. Thank you for celebrating with us during our two-year anniversary last week!

Have you felt fatigued or a lack of energy half-way through the day? Feel like you can’t make it to the end of the workday without some help?
I understand! I’ve been there. We all have those days where we feel in a funk and need a little help. Here are my tips for pulling yourself up.
First, master transitions throughout the day. Think about all the transitions you experience during the day. Take a moment and write a few of them down here. Answer these questions about transitions each transition:
Do you ever carry over negative energy from one activity to the next?
Do you ever feel depleted but still plow into your next activity without a break, even though you know you should take a breather?
Are you losing a sense of presence and appreciation for life and others the further you go in your day?
Second, think about getting some fresh air. We can all benefit from being outside even if it’s for one minute or 15 minutes. The change of scenery helps our bodies and minds.
Third, use the letting go exercise. Close your eyes for 1 minute
Repeat the phrase let go in your mind over and over again. Command body to let go of tension in shoulders, neck, face, jaw, back, legs.
Set intention.
What energy do I want to bring into this next activity?
How can I do this next activity with excellence?
How can I enjoy the process?
Letting Go Exercise
Close eyes, sit up straight, breathe deeply, let tension fall away from body as you repeat the phrase let go to yourself
In my Joy at Work Course, you can get even more advice and action steps on how to make decisions with confidence and how to say no with confidence.
