💭 One Thing We’re Thinking About

Burnout feels like you’re trudging through quicksand.

And to make it worse, there’s usually voice in your head that won't shut up about how little you’re doing and how slow you’re going 😒

This week on the blog, MJ shares her most reliable strategy for not only getting out of burnout, but staying away from it for good.

👀 One Thing We’re Inspired By

A few weeks ago we wrote about our SAFE Method, which helps you navigate obstinate, resistance behaviors by removing mental and physical obstacles rather than channeling grit, finding motivation, and “eating the frog.”

It looks like this Redditor is drinking the same Koolaid — we loved their post about making things stupid easy in order to finally change your habits.
