## Resource

When we’re ‘in a funk’, we might feel that things just aren’t going right for us, we can’t catch a break, and that life generally feels pretty flat. What’s more, we can tend to look at the world through a negative lens - which makes things worse.  In this episode, we look at why we get stuck in a funk, how our approach to fix it can lead us astray, and how we can get ourselves out of one by honouring our soul needs, reconnecting with nature, and more. We unpack: • The key differences between being in a funk and clinical depression • Why monotony and boredom keep us stuck • The danger of telling yourself to just ‘snap out of it’ • The importance of honouring our ‘soul needs’  • What we can do to rewire our brain towards a brighter future Happy listening!
