I used Lumosity to train my brain. That said, if you are burned out, you may be dissociating as a way to cope.

One trick is to take a 20 minute walk in a great space every 4 hours. It’s supposed to help regulate you nervous system.

I’ll look into that. Walking is a good tip. Thanks!

my phone every 5-10 minutes, zoning out during meetings, not able to generate enthusiasm even if something I’m working on does spark my interest to some degree.

I‘m slightly burnt out and job hunting on the side so that doesn’t help with my lack of focus during the work day but I want to get back to my old self where I was a strong employee who could deliver strong work. But I think to get there, I need to learn how to focus again. What tips do you ladies have on how to retrain yourself to focus?

I’m 100% certain it’s this. I haven’t been interested in my projects or internal work for a while. I’m not doing training anymore because it felt forced and wasn’t helping me get onto projects so that was unmotivating...maybe I’ll make a personal project list that actually interests me

Has anyone just been feeling pretty sad and down these past few months? I’ve never really felt this way pre-pandemic but now no matter what I do (workout,talk to friends, yoga) I still feel waves of sadness. I live in a cold city with strict covid lockdowns so I know that that is contributing to my sadness but just wanted to see if anyone else feels like this and how you are coping? I also haven’t traveled or gone on many social outings since last March so Ik that is taking a toll on me as well

Been passed over for promotion twice (had support from multiple partners both times). Received the top performance rating every year since joining the firm (6 years), which I’ve heard is rare.

Anyone else face this and have any suggestions/guidance?

Ladies, love to hear your thoughts. I’m in my late 20’s with a handful of close gfs (most of them live far) but I have a history of losing girlfriends. I’m self aware to a fault and am very supportive/responsive but other than my core group, it’s hard for me to keep gfs around other than 6 month span. It’s happening to me again right now and it’s really hard, she’s going through something and pulling away/towards others when we have been VERY close before. Anyone else have this experience?
