Episode 65
Published 5 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Do you ever feel stuck in that in-between where you’re not getting anything done—but you’re not actually resting either? I call this limbo, and it’s often driven by overthinking, decision fatigue, and overwhelm. In this episode, I walk you through why this happens and how to gently get yourself out of that stuck state without adding more pressure.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- What “limbo” actually is (and how to recognize it in your daily life)
- How overthinking, decision fatigue, and overwhelm keep you stuck and feeling like you’re “wasting time”
- The most common reasons you end up in limbo (including lack of structure and unclear plans)
- A simple check-in question to help you decide between rest vs. action
- How to take the smallest, most realistic step forward to build momentum without burnout
