How To Bounce Back After A Slump
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Hello lovers,
I hope that 2022 is treating you well so far. For me its been a bit of a struggle getting my bearings after a hectic end of 2021...and I was pretty sure that (as usual) that I couldn't be the only one.
So I figured for my first video back after a few weeks that I would talk about some of the things that are helping me get motivated to dust myself off and keep going.
I love and miss you all and I have a new video coming for you in a couple of days!

I just turned 60 and I wished I could have heard this talk when I was in my 30’s. It’s taken me nearly 30 years to realize self-care is not selfish. You simply can’t let people hurt you, walk in you, etc without facing a huge burnout. I have a friend who passed away a year ago who always said “if you’re messing up - the universe throws you a feather. If you ignore it - it throws a brick. If you ignore the brick - you are hit by a bus. Don’t wait for the bus”.
Yes. Turning 60 next month….I agree. I wish we had these resources back in the day!
The best part about your awesome comment is hearing that you did learn to love yourself! I always learn everything the hard way 😂 You’re proof that there hope for me that I can keep figuring this stuff out even as I’m getting older. So happy you’re there now ❤️ women are always trained to feel selfish for everything. It’s bs.
You know how when someone goes to church and they say "wow, I sure needed to hear that service today"?.... that is me watching your videos. It's like you always take me to church and give me what I need to hear when I need to hear it.
Wow! Thank you so so much! :)
@@whitneyhedrick Em is sooo right on! Great analogy 💙.... I know I'm sitting right on up in the front pew myself! Preach on, because I for one am ready, have been ready, to take ownership of my own "stuff"..... I'm also tired, no, exhausted from having to explain my taking time for MY self care... or worse yet, making excuses for why I'll put it off, yet making time "doing" for people I know deep down could care less if I cry myself to sleep. Over it, thank you! Thank you, Whitney... God bless you girl!!!!!!
VERY important that you mentioned the difference between a slump and mental health issues. I have anxiety and OCD and have a lot of these symptoms from my anxiety. Great video!! ❤❤
Thanks so much babe! :)
"I am the Godess & the Servant" is now going to be my new daily Affirmation. Resonates 💅
Yay! Love that :)
Girls! You have no idea how much mental organization you get from planning. I am so much more at peace with myself and anything that goes on because I feel PREPARED! I honestly did not think it would have such a life-changing effect. Thank you Whitney for the inspiration from a previous video, sending love and blessings.🌟🖤
Your videos keep me going in my journey… this was the perfect end to my day. I had a glowy day of cleaning, eating healthy and self care and I’m finishing it off with a bubble bath and this video. As a patron… we’ll be there whenever you’re ready to come back!
Thank you, Cara :) and sounds like you had an awesome glowy day! :)
I’m a nurse… this is the end of my career and it is because I have so much on my shoulders. I can’t walk away from those who need me. I lost my husband. The last two years have been difficult
Proud of ur work. Nurses inspire me to stay strong esp during the pandemic
Sharon, big loving hugs to you. I am so sorry for your loss. ❤️
Welcome back!!! These videos feel like I’m sitting with my bestie. Daily planning and tick boxes are my 2022 life. It makes me feel accomplished and provides structure.
It's crazy how muscle tension happens due to stress and burn outt🤭
Girl, I think you've found your niche. Keep going.
Will do :) I enjoy it :)
I recently discovered your channel and I'm so thankful. 🤗
"What are you gonna bring to the goddess? Twinkies and sweatpants?" 🤣🤣🤣💀
Hahahahaha! I mean it’s ok sometimes but def not always 😂
@@whitneyhedrick I love your sense of humor, anytime I'm feeling down I watch one of your videos and life just gets so much better 😂💜
I was on a High maintenance series marathon and loved it❤️I watched the standards videos thrice to instill the message..thank you Whitney for all efforts, you are making a huge difference to lives like mine🥰🥰
1000% this! Same here
Using the word “thrice” just made you one of my favorite people right now. 🤓
@@reverie6034 awww thank you😍
Whitney! I don't think I've ever commented on a UA-cam video (I'm really more of a spectator and less of a participant lol) but I've been a longtime viewer of your channel and your message always hits different for me. Burnout is something I can relate to big time, so thank you for sharing your journey and insights!
I'm experiencing a little burnout right now because I just moved to Nashville from Chicago with my loving boyfriend 9 months ago, and am juggling a full-time job while studying esthetics at the Paul Mitchell School in Hendersonville. So your advice is gonna come in handy :)
I hope what I'm about to say doesn't come across as creepy - and there is no pressure here AT ALL. But I remember you mentioning a while back that you're based in the Nashville area, so if that's still the case, I'd love to offer you a facial at my school to help you ease out of your end-of-2021 slump. I'm sure you're already working with an esthetician (I can tell by your pristine at-home regimen!), but if you're ever interested in getting a hella affordable and relaxing skin treatment just because, please let me know.
I don't have many friends in Nashville yet and I'm challenging myself to do the "next right thing" as I'm settling into my new city, so if you're at all interested, my skin IG is jenuine.skin. Again, no pressure or hard feelings here; one of my 2022 goals is to grow my network of girlfriends in TN, so please humor my attempt at putting myself out there 😂 much love to you girl!
That’s not weird at all! I just screen shotted…screen shat? Hahaha this comment and I will hopefully be in touch but with ol RoRo rearing her ugly head again I’m trying to keep it indoors for a bit. I hope you enjoying Nashville! Have you had the chance to see or do anything fun yet?
@@whitneyhedrick thanks for getting back to me! Hear ya loud and clear on the RoRo front - she's been limiting my Nashville exposure unfortunately! I'm in West End so I'm well acquainted with Belle Meade/Radnor Lake hiking, like 5 restaurants, and Green Hills curbside pickups haha. Still have plenty to explore but slowly and surely getting there! Hope you're staying safe, healthy and happy
Anyone else in a consistent state of burnout…without actually working hard? :/
Great video, as always! Glad you're back with us and feeling better. Your advice has helped me in several aspects of my daily life. I have incorporated the "big shower" into my week. It has changed so many things for me, including my attitude and hair routine. I also love getting a couple hours alone. When I do it, I tell my kids it's my only long shower, and I need peace. Lol didn't always work, but it's pretty close!
Great video. I’m so incredibly tired. My next right step is to put on my CPAP tonight. Getting good sleep is imperative for me so it always blows my mind how I “forget” to put on my mask at night. Urg P.S. I have zero issues with my mask, it’s actually comfortable. It’s me being lazy. 🌹
Sending love from Australia and hope you get a lovely night’s sleep tonight 😊😴🥰. Oh and it might not be you being lazy, your prefrontal cortex (brains decision making centre) begins to switch off in the evenings or if you’re in pain. Like everyone functions different, but I have found that by recognising and accepting that my brain experiences periods of impaired functioning, I have been able to help plan for future episodes of it and try eliminating as many obstacles during that time as possible, or make things more visible or set more reminders, lol I literally have my alarm clock verbally tell me to take my morning medication, which is placed in front of it (not inside the bottle but the counted out pill) beside a water, because otherwise I am so not a morning person and my brain is beyond impaired at that hour lol
I believe that during and/or after a slump, you can add some "comedy relief" as a form of self-care. Allow me to demonstrate: Guess what Ebeneezer Scrooge got for Christmas -- chewing gum that gives him bad breath.
😂😂😂
My dad died 2 months ago (I’m 22 years old) and I feel ~unhappy~ to say the least
So sorry Lauren .that's a huge loss.
Awesome, awesome video! Came at just the right time for me. Just had my second heart catheterization in a year and a half and I have been quickly sinking into a rut? slump? depression? Call it whatever. I have just been feeling so overwhelmed. I love the concept of doing the next right thing! Thank you for this inspiring video!
Thank you for watching and i wish you continued health and wellness :)
OMG I was on a selfcare tear and lost your channel in the pile of all the things I was listening to. But GIRL your voice has been in my head. I was like I must find her! Think think what key words does she say and today HOODED EYES came to me lol. I remember being surprised by your real life ( meat and potatoes) content that really spoke to me. But for some reasons when I tried to find you through those topics I couldn’t find you. I’m so happy 🎊 🎉. I’ll be playing you’re high maintenance series all day. I appreciate your content so much💗
10 days of being sick with Covid. I am definitely feeling a slump and slowly need to stitch my life back together. Thank you so much.
Yes! I'm on day with it and definitely feel the slump. Hope you have a speedy recovery 😊💖
Girl I got it right now....no fun at ALL.
I hope somebody told you to take magnesium it helps for muscle spasms and sleep. I’ve had four back surgeries and I get leg cramps muscle spasms and the magnesium takes care of it.
I will def do so :)
Omg, lol, i sent my sister’s phone call to voicemail! Thank you for reassuring me that was the right decision!
Thank you for your videos. Yesterday was my Mom's birthday. My Dad is still here. She left in 2019. I did the next right thing I think by making a nice omelet. Your suggestions I'm following. Except I also have anger issues with myself. In 2019 I lost my darling cat, and a man i loved for a decade. I try to follow what my Mom is telling me, but I'm having trouble with that man. I also have a list of what is the most important for the day: my cat's brofur, 19 almost, giving him treatment (yes he's older but spunky). Making food. TRrying to work out. I have a problem though besides loss. i CAN'T take care of everyone. My Dad, cat, myself. I can't take care of much more than this.
Hey beautiful ❤️🙏Thank you for sharing your journey you have defined help me with my confidence as k have mentioned before .I am happy with the progress and how I am able to protect my spirit and mind 🥰May God bless you Jesus has definitely worked in your life and k pray he continues to give you the ideas and topics to share with us beauties 💋
Thank you gorgeous. Many blessings your way as well :)
Perfect timing to see this video. All I want to do is stay in bed. 😫
I need a tutorial on this hair❤️😍
THIS video couldn't have come at a more CONVENIENT TIME! THANK YOUUU queen😊😊😊😊
Thank you for watching!
Started taking care of my dad around the clock this year because of his dementia. It has been a very tough year ….gping home to spend time with my husband on the weekends I try to juggle married life and helping my dad who is bed ridden. I let myself go…not eating well, not exercising, tired all the time…all the symptoms or being burnt out..I am so glad I watched your video…I needs this so bad…I needed ME back…I needed to do the right thing for me starting tomorrow…It won’t be easy but I will get there…THANK YOU so much from the bottom of my ❤️….
Oh baby girl! Taking care of a parent is admirable work. You should be SO proud of yourself. I had to put on big girl panties when my mother was passing and it was the hardest thing ever but I rest easy at night knowing I was there for her. You take good care of yourself my love. Please please please. You deserve it and your dad needs you to as well :)
PLEASE do a video if you haven't already of best books youve read!
I have done some book videos but I def need to do an updated favs, TBR, and DNF :)
I’m just watching this now. This is very useful! I’ve been an RN for 5 years and have worked 7 days a week for the last 5 years, with a handful
Of days off in that time. I have a 2 year old, and 3 older children plus a husband. I desperately want rest and am so burnt out, but it is so hard to say no to extra shifts bc my coworkers are all in the trenches right now as well… it’s a never ending cycle
I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds very difficult. But I do hope you will seek out help from others...rely on your support system from time to time and take as good of care of yourself as you can. Because if you aren't doing well...none of these other things can. Im rooting for you.
@@whitneyhedrick thank you 😊 I am going to start attempting to put myself first more often, my boys also 🥰 thank you for your channel!
I love how you mentioned mental illness. 👌
I love you and your videos
I've experienced burnout more than normal lately. I've actually taken a couple days off of work, and I like my job.
I finally bounced back after feeling down, put on my makeup and went to a concert and was told "um you are showing off a bit!" and "You don't have to get all dressed up because no one else will be!" *le sigh. I love your channel.
I am in a burn out😭
Thank you for all of your wisdom! My grandma passed away last year and it has been so hard for me. Your videos have helped me out so much, they have helped me to start feeling like myself again. Thank you for being a guiding light! 💖
So needed this!
Liked before I even watched it! I love your voice and in every video I learn something new
Thank you so much!!
I just found out I have hypothyroidism. Through series of blood tests I finally started the meds about 2 weeks ago. I am still in a rut but I do have good days so I take advantage of the good days. This thing is gonna take me some time
Been binging your videos lately! Thank you for this-great content as always ❤️✨✨
you are giving some amazing advice, inspiration xx thank you for helping others, your words will help others 🥰
❤️❤️❤️
This was definitely something I needed to hear today! I am so happy that you are getting better and taking time for you.
Side note: I’m obsessed with your hair!
I absolutely NEEDED this!! Thank you ❤️🙏
I live for your videos, you're amazing!!
I love your your channel!
Thank you so much!
hi Whit...
ok so sometimes i think that you have direct access into your audience's brains. i absolutely, 100% legit needed this in my life. thanku so much. ive said this b4 but it's worth repeating: Thank God for voices like yours on YT. this platform would be filled with very, VERY beautiful but very, VERY empty videos & shallow posts. Thank you for always speaking directly from/with your truth. xxx xs a xillion
wow that is so kind of you to say..thank you so much :)
You are 100% Correct on all points. We think ourselves into Success. Our body will follow our mind (Brain). This by no means is the answer for everyone because Mental Health is REAL... I definitely know because I'm a Chronic MIGRAINE Sufferer, Major Depression & Anxiety. Self-Care is the most important thing. Be will, get help and believe in yourself always.
Yes...I totally agree :)
missed you girl , so glad your back and take it one day at a time !! 🥰
Great video. Great points. Very well said. Thank you for sharing so much of your experience with us. This high-maintenance chick can't get enough of your content.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching :)
You look great! So much thinner from ur face.. and ur face looks relaxed. I love it! Even your talking is more chill and calm. ❤❤
Thanks! :)
It’s amazing you posted this video-I was just thinking about how I am kind of going through a slump right now. My anxiety has been high from work and planning my wedding and everything else that life puts out. Also, the phrase “you’ve let yourself go” has been circling around in my head, even though others tell me that’s not the case.
Thank you so much for this content! I love the way you explain things and use unique analogies-you’re so sincere! 💛
Awww thank you darlin! Try to be kind to yourself as much as you can. It’s so much more helpful in this process than the alternative ;)
Where did you get your desk, I love it?
You look so pretty in this video!
Thank you so much for this ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Sending you love and energy!
