How to Get Out of a Funk

Information isn’t the gap between failure and success—action is. Path for Growth’s 1-on-1 coaching helps you create a plan and execute on what matters most for your business. Apply today at pathforgrowth.com/coaching.


We can’t stop ourselves from ever getting into a funk, but we can take control and move forward when we find ourselves in one. In today’s episode, we talk about four practical actions to help us get out of a funk and recommit to pursuing healthy growth. We also discuss the importance of labeling your emotions in order to take away some of their power, as well as advice for finding the right people to confide in. 


  • We often use language to hide the truth of where we’re at (3:01) 
  • Today we’ll discuss four actions that can help us get out of a funk (6:40)
  • 1. Own it: You will never fix what you refuse to see (7:15)
  • 2. Talk about it: Another person can introduce rationality (13:01)
  • Find someone you trust to be solution-oriented and give good advice (17:34)
  • 3. Jolt your way out of it: If you want different results, start doing different things (23:46)
  • When you disrupt yourself, you reorient your mind, body, and emotions instead of escaping (34:18)
  • 4. Practice healthy growth: Create change that’s sustainable (36:32)
  • Your effectiveness as a leader is not measured by your ability to be perfect (41:27)
