Quick Riff: Feeling Blah?
In this episode, I riff on what I believe is a very common feeling this year (2021) of “blah-ness.” The inspiration for this Quick Riff is from an article that I found extremely affirming and helpful called “There’s a Name for the Blah You’re Feeling: It’s Called Languishing.” It’s written by psychologist Adam Grant and explains why so many of us are feeling “blah” and what we can do about it. I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely feeling the effects of 2020. And although it’s important not to wallow in the past, in order to move forward in a positive direction, we first have to fully witness, understand, and release what is still sitting with us from the past. A few things I touch on… What is languishing (blah-ness).The symptoms of languishing.Why so many of us are feeling this way.How we can slip into this state without realizing it.Why we don’t tend to ask for help while languishing.The slightly “woo-woo” antidote to this blah feeling.One of the most important factors in daily joy.How we get into that state of being.Why it’s crucial we have periods of uninterrupted time.How focusing on “just manageable difficulty” projects is helpful.A hopefully soothing guided stillness moment to integrate everything.
