GOAH 154: The Emotions Series: Ennui Girl On A Hill
-
- Society & Culture
We continue our discussion of emotions by digging into ennui. It’s a word you may not be familiar with, but an emotion you’ve likely felt. While we may not want to admit it, most of us know what it’s like to cross beyond boredom into apathy - to feel empty and without purpose. Today we talk about why. We get honest about burn-out and monotony but also don’t shy away from our struggle to feel like our life is meaningful and that what we do matters. We share some ways to reconnect to purpose, to live fully (even when we don’t feel like it), and wrap it up with a hard truth about our focus.
