We all have those days—or weeks—when we just don’t feel like ourselves. Whether it’s a heavy life event, shifting hormones, or a vague sense of “blah,” we can slip into a funk that throws everything off track—our eating, movement, mindset, and self-care.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what it really means to be in a funk (hint: it’s any time you're not feeling like you), and more importantly, how to pull yourself out of it with compassion and clarity. I share the exact five steps I use in my own life to get back to feeling like me, starting with identifying the sneaky thoughts and emotions that quietly take over.
You’ll learn:
- Why finding the feeling comes before changing the thought
- How to stop letting guilt or shame steal your rest and joy
- Why movement is one of the most powerful tools to shift your energy
- The mindset trick I use when I can’t quite believe a better thought (yet)
- How to still care for yourself when you don’t want to get out of a funk just yet
Whether you’re deep in a funk or just feeling a little off, this episode will give you the tools to reconnect with yourself and move forward—gently and powerfully.

to the podcast episode 87 how toget out of a funk and get back
on track. This is going to be agreat episode today. First, I
want to tell you I'm reallyexcited that I have launched my
(01:16):
YouTube channel so modern body,modern life. Courtney Gray is on
YouTube. If this is somethingI've been wanting to do for a
while, this is something I'vebeen working on for a while. My
intention was to have this doneby the end of last year, but
when I started diving intoYouTube, I really realized that
I wanted to take more time toreally do it right. And I'm so
(01:37):
glad I did, because I'm reallyproud of the YouTube channel.
There's already four videosthere for you, and I'm going to
be adding videos every week. Andthe whole reason for doing
YouTube, besides just the wholebusiness, you know, thoughts on
business and how to build abusiness, is because this
podcast is very successful. Ihave a lot of women that are
(01:57):
lifts listening and loving thispodcast and learning and using
what they're learning from thispodcast, which is amazing. And
then I the other platform thatI'm on consistently is is
Instagram. And although I dolove Instagram, I am constantly
fighting up against this. How doI say something mean of
meaningful in under 90 seconds,or however many seconds they
(02:19):
give you to make a reel? And Ifeel like I don't love rushing
and saying things fast and justit feels very like I just want
to teach more. I want people toreally understand, and it's hard
for me to say something powerfulthat's not gimmicky and not just
annoying in under 90 seconds.
And so I thought YouTube reallyis the perfect blending between
Instagram and between thispodcast. So I'm not just taking
(02:42):
this podcast and throwing up avideo of me recording this
podcast on YouTube. That's notat all what this is. I am
creating videos for YouTube.
They're usually going to bearound 10 to 15 minutes long,
and they really are teachingvideos. If you've been to any of
my workshops or master classesor trainings. They are like
(03:03):
almost a mini training or a minimaster class, something that you
can watch while you're on yourlunch break or while you're
waiting for something, butsomething that you can watch
with enough time to actuallydigest it and understand it. And
I'm really excited about it, soI'm going to be putting some
clips on Instagram, just to kindof entice you to go over there.
I would love for you to go overthere to subscribe and like my
(03:26):
videos. That would mean so muchto me. So enjoy modern body,
modern life on YouTube, you knowwhat? And I'll also, I'll put
the link in the show notes, justin case you'd like to to have an
easy access to it. Also, monthof July, I'm getting ready for
my next launch of myfoundational program, modern
body, modern life. We are goingto be starting in August, mid
(03:47):
August. So I am, you know, I'malways redoing. I'm always up
leveling, not only myself and mylife, but I'm always up leveling
my coaching, my programs, myworkbooks, my materials, and so
I'm really excited to be goingthrough all of my videos, and
how can I make them better? Howcan I make this more
understandable? How can I makethis simpler? And I'm also
(04:08):
redoing the workbook, and I'mjust really, really excited for
this group. This program is forwomen who want to lose between
10 and 15 pounds by learning howto be in control of their eating
and their body and their life.
And always, this is so much morethan weight loss. This is about
you understanding why you eat inthe first place and really
fixing that. It's you living abigger life. You loving the life
(04:30):
and the health and the bodyyou're in to a higher level. And
this all takes mindset. So thatis what this three month group
is going to be about. So you'llhear, stay tuned. You'll hear
more about that, but that's whatI'm doing. The month of July is
really making that even better.
So let's dive into the podcast,how to get out of a funk and get
(04:52):
back on track. And first of all,let me define what I say is a
funk. To me, a funk is anytimeyou're not feeling like you you.
And this can be a lot ofdifferent reasons. I mean,
sometimes we have things happenin our life that are sad. We
have people that pass away. Wehave we have diagnosis is we
have animals that pass away. Wehave just sad things that happen
in our lives, and we can kind ofget in a funk for those reasons.
(05:15):
And then sometimes, I don't knowabout you, but sometimes I just
wake up and I don't know if it'shormones or sometimes I don't
even know what is happening, butI don't feel like myself. I
really feel like the only thingI can say is I like, literally
woke up on the wrong side of thebed. I just don't feel like
myself. And so how do you getout of that and get back on
track? And a funk can also justbe from your mindset. A funk can
(05:37):
also be that you've got thingsgoing on in your life and you
have thoughts that are makingyou feel emotions you don't want
to be feeling, and then that iscreating this funk of you not
living the way you want to. So Iguess that's how I should really
close out what a funk is. It'sreally you not feeling the way
you want to feel, and thenyou're not living the way you
want to which is means you'renot eating the way you want to
(05:58):
eat, you're not thinking the wayyou want to think. You're not
moving the way you want to move.
You're not taking care ofyourself and your health, and
you're really, oftentimes morepresent, focused and less future
focused, which is never a placewe want to be for very long, but
this is a place we all get tomultiple times. Throughout the
year, we are going to get into afunk. So what I want to help you
do is know how to get out of itfaster. And I'm gonna really
(06:22):
talk about how I get out of afunk faster and get back on
track. I'm going to give youfive of the ways that I do in my
own life, get out of a funk andget back on track faster. Number
one, the first thing I do isidentify the thoughts and
feelings that are creating myfunk. So ask yourself, what is
(06:42):
happening, and that sounds sosilly. I mean, if you have
something catastrophicallyhappening, if you just had an
animal pass away, we know what'shappening, right, but you do
have thoughts that are makingyou feel a certain way in that
moment. At some point, maybe youcan turn those thoughts around
and feel differently, butidentifying the thoughts and
feelings that are creating yourfunk is so important. When you
(07:04):
can identify the feelings, it'seasier to figure out what the
thoughts that are creating them,and this is how I do it. And so
the first thing if I'm notfeeling right, I will say to
myself, What am I feeling rightnow? Because sometimes it's hard
to go directly to the thought.
So I think, what am I feelingright now? Am I feeling
(07:24):
discouraged? Am I feeling justblah? Am I feeling guilt? Am I
feeling unmotivated, like whatis happening? And really try to
identify the feeling in my bodyis what I do. And then I say,
Okay, this is the way I'mfeeling. And then, what are the
thoughts that are making me feelthis way? I do this a lot. When
I get bored, I have the luxuryof being bored sometimes, and so
(07:48):
I will say, I'm not feelingright. What is it? I'm feeling
okay. I'm feeling bored. Okay.
Why am I feeling bored? What'shappening? And I just say,
usually, the thought for me is Idon't know what to do, or I
don't know what I should bedoing, or I don't know what's
best, or what really ends uphappening for me is I want to
relax because I've done a lot ofwork, but I'm not allowing
(08:09):
myself. So that's boredom. Butthen underneath the boredom,
there's like a level of guilt orshame that I'm not allowing
myself to just watch Outlanderand drink some tea. For God's
sakes, it's really important forme to say, oh, here we go again.
Courtney, you're feeling bored.
Okay, I'm feeling bored becauseI'm telling myself, I don't know
(08:29):
what's going on. I don't knowwhat to do. And then when I go
underneath the boredom, what isreally going on with me, I'm
feeling a bit of like, shame onyou. You shouldn't be watching
TV. If you could be washing thewindows, you could be going to
visit your parents, you could bedoing all these things. And so
that from that point, my friend,from that point, I can say, oh,
(08:53):
okay, do I want to believethat's true, that I should be
doing all these other things? DoI want to believe it's true that
I don't believe I deserve abreak. No, I don't want to
believe that's true. And then Ican say, How is it possible that
I've done enough and I deserve abreak? And then if I can start
thinking about all of that, Ican get myself out of shame, and
(09:17):
then I can get myself out ofboredom, because then I say, I'm
not bored, I'm actually enjoyingmyself. I'm gonna sit here and
watch Outlander. I'm not bored.
I'm intentionally taking somedowntime to watch TV, or I'm
intentionally taking somedowntime to lay out and read a
book. And so from that space,I'm not bored anymore. I've just
dropped the shame. I've justdropped the story that I don't
deserve to be relaxing, that Ihaven't done enough.
(09:43):
And so the first thing I do,number one, is identify the
thoughts and feelings that arecreating my funk. You get so
much awareness in this moment,and when you get more awareness
in this moment, that is what isgoing to stop you from eating or
drinking more than you want to.
Or just doing other things thatare not really what you want to
do with your life. So again,when you identify the feeling
(10:06):
first, oftentimes it's easier tofigure out what thoughts are
creating, the feelings and Ilove just asking myself, is
there another way to think aboutwhat's happening? It's at the
end of a long day I've done allthis stuff. I'm feeling a little
bored. Why am I feeling bored?
Oh, I'm telling myself I don'tknow what to do. And then it's
(10:27):
like, wait. I'm also tellingmyself I shouldn't be doing
this. Hmm, that shame. Do Ireally want to feel that way? Do
I really want to think this way?
And from that space, we can getourselves out of a funk. We can
get ourselves to actually watchsome TV and enjoy ourselves. Or
we can get ourselves to maybehave a brownie and have it just
be about a brownie. Or we canget ourselves to not work out
(10:50):
for a day and take a rest daywithout feeling shame. Now I
will caution you that when youfind the feeling and the thought
that is creating it, and youdecide to think something new.
It's not necessarily always likea snap over like a Oh, I just
need to think differently. Oh,thank god. I'm all I'm good, I'm
(11:11):
good. You have to sometimes sitthere and you have to actually
practice that thought and reallytry to sell yourself on that
thought. And here's one lastlittle piece of advice when it
comes to identifying thoughtsand feelings, when you identify
a better thought that is goingto make you feel a certain way,
if you actually believed it,what you can say to yourself is
(11:33):
okay. I'd like to believe I justdid this the other night. I'd
like to believe that I have doneenough work today, and I deserve
to sit on the couch and justrelax, or i i believe that i
have done enough, and I'm worthyenough that I can take a day off
and I don't have to record apodcast, I don't have to check
in with clients. I can do justrelax and enjoy my life. But we
don't necessarily click overinto feeling that way right
(11:57):
away. It's not like, Oh, Itotally believe that, but
sometimes what you can do is youcan say, if I actually believed
that, what would I do? So theother day, when I did this, I
thought I have done enough. I'mdoing a great job at life. I'm
proud of how I'm showing up. Iknow that originally I thought I
was a little bit bored, but thenI identified that I'm feeling a
(12:17):
little shame, because I'mtelling myself I shouldn't be
relaxing, but I've decided thatI deserve to relax. There's
nothing wrong with taking a day.
And even though I didn't havethat click over, I decided, what
would I do if I believed that,if I believed that I would take
the day, if I believed that Iwould watch some TV and then I'd
(12:40):
go swimming, and then I'd readmy book, and I would keep
reminding myself all day. And sothat's what I did. So sometimes,
if it's hard when you when youidentify like, is there another
way to think about this? Andit's hard to necessarily believe
that new way of thinking of it,you can say, what would I do if
I did believe this and do thatthing. It's very similar with
(13:02):
confidence. You can say toyourself, if I was confident,
what would I do? And then you'dsay, if I was confident, I would
post something on Instagram. IfI was confident, I would go up
and volunteer for this or that.
In order to get more confident,you do those things, and that
will build the confidence and bydoing the other day, when I did
this over the weekend, when Iallowed myself to take the day,
(13:24):
when I allowed myself to swimand just luxuriously read my
book and do all these things,and as I went throughout my day,
I believed it more and more andmore, yes, this is what I need
to be doing. This is what mysoul needs right now, I am very
much really feeling therecuperating effects of taking
some time. So that's number one,is identifying the thoughts and
(13:46):
feelings that are creating yourfunk. And I would suggest
finding the feeling first, whatthought is creating that
feeling, and what would you liketo think instead? Right? Is
there another way to think aboutthis, and if you did really
think that way, believe thatway, what would you do? And
sometimes you do that, and ithelps you believe that way. Now
let me say this aboutidentifying thoughts and
(14:09):
feelings that are creating yourfunk. Sometimes we don't want to
get out of a funk. Sometimesyou're going to find as you go
throughout your life whensomething especially when
something sad happens, or youfeel really just heartbroken.
Sometimes we don't want to getout of a funk. Sometimes you've
even felt this way right whereyou're like, you know what, I'm
(14:30):
sad and discouraged and I don'teven want to get out of it. What
I say in that moment is justallow yourself to have some
time. So usually when we are sador really struggling, it's not
just because we're having athought that's not serving us.
It's not just because we got outof the off on the wrong side of
the bed. Usually that'ssomething that is heavier in our
life. It's we are reallystruggling with one of our kids,
(14:53):
or maybe we just found out somenews that's one of our friends,
something devastating had.
Happened to them, and you arejust you feel like the wind has
been taken out of you, or maybesomething Financial has happened
that just feels really big, andit's again taken the wind out of
you. Or maybe you've had a deathin the family or of an animal.
In those moments, we can say,Wow, we are in a funk, but we
(15:17):
don't necessarily want toreframe this right now, and
that's okay, too. And so in thatmoment, you're going to want to
skip to number five. I'm goingto talk about really being
intentional about your selfcare. But my hope is that when
you really are and I'll talkabout five when I get to it, of
course, but when you really areintentional about your self
care, and you you canacknowledge I'm in a funk, and
(15:38):
here's why I'm really, reallydevastated because this or that
happened, and you really takecare of yourself, that will get
you back on track faster. Butsometimes we don't want to
immediately get out of it, andthat's okay, and you can still
create an amazing body and lifewithout having to so quickly get
(15:58):
out of it. So number two, moveyour body. This was almost
number one for me, but I alwayshave to start with mindset. But
I am telling you, there is justso much power in moving your
body. Do not wait formotivation, even if it is just a
little bit of movement,movement, even if it's
(16:21):
stretching, even if it's alittle bit of a walk, even if
it's a little bit of fiveminutes of yoga, even if it's a
little bit of breath work, eventhough, usually with breath
work, you're kind of layingthere. But breathing is
movement. When we move our body,physiologically, it shifts our
energy, and it can really shiftour mindset and get us out of a
(16:45):
funk. The other day, I was in alittle bit of a funk. I feel
like I'm in funks at least twoto three times a week. I mean, I
think being in a little bit of afunk, not a sad, devastating
funk, but a kind of I don't feellike doing this, or, Oh, I'm not
feeling great, or I didn't sleepthat great, probably three times
a week for me. So that's whythis is such an important
podcast. But when I can getmyself to move my body, it gets
(17:10):
me. It is the fastest thing thatwill get me out of a funk. And
sometimes I will will evenforego doing any thought work,
because I think you know what, Idon't know what's going on with
me, but I know if I go for awalk, it'll probably end up
turning into a run, and I amgoing to be so much better for
it. I'm going to be feelingbetter. I'm going to be feeling
(17:30):
proud. I am just going to be soglad I did it right. Have you
ever gotten exercise and thoughtI wish I hadn't done that? No.
Have you ever done any of thereally good things for your
soul. And thought, I wish Ihadn't done that. Have you ever
meditated or prayed or donesomething like that? And think,
Ugh, that was a waste of time. Ido think some people think that
(17:50):
about meditation, but that'sbecause they think they're doing
meditation wrong. You're notdoing meditation wrong. To me,
even trying to meditate meansyou're doing it right. Even
taking that stillness and thatmoment to do it is worthy of
your time, and it is doing itright. And so moving your body
is such a great place to start.
If I can't get out for a run, Iwill, at the very least say to
(18:14):
myself, I'm going to walk aroundthe block, or I'm going to get
in the pool and just move aroundalways makes you feel better.
And I should say that when doingthe research for this podcast,
there are so many studies thatsupport this, that when you
exercise regularly, it changesyour brain chemistry. It changes
(18:36):
it. It increases yourendorphins, it increases
dopamine, increases serotonin,it improves sleep, it reduces
inflammation, it boosts yourmood, and it has many of the
effects that so many people areturning to medication for. So
the research is out there thatwe know moving our body is such
a great way to get out of afunk. Okay? Number three, asking
(18:58):
yourself, What can I do that Iwill be proud of at the end of
the day. This is something Ilove. Asking myself, if I'm
feeling sleep deprived or notfeeling good, or headachy or in
a funk, and I will say tomyself, Okay, Courtney, what can
(19:18):
I dothat? I will be really glad I
did at the end of the day. Haveyou ever tried this? I've talked
about it on the podcast a fewtimes. Have you ever really
tried that at the end of theday? Sometimes I'll do it at the
end of the week. I did this thismorning. Actually. I thought to
myself, Okay, Courtney, by theend of the week, because I have
a shorter week today, becauseI'm going on vacation this
(19:40):
weekend. What are you going tobe most proud of if you did? It
really clarifies what is themost important so when you ask
yourself, What can I do that Iwill be proud of at the end of
the day or at the end of theweek? It really takes away all
the fluff. It takes away all thestuff. Stuff that we are saying
yes to that really isn't movingthe needle in our life, whether
(20:02):
it's moving the needle with yourhealth or with your
relationships or with yourorganization or with your goals.
So what can you do? So often wewhen we're in a funk, especially
we're in a funk, and there'sreasons we're in a funk, and
we're telling ourselves we can'tdo this. We can't do that, you
know. And so what can you do ifyou're injured? What can you do
(20:24):
if you have a headache? What canyou do if you're really sad?
What can you do? It's such agreat question to ask yourself
and go to either at the end ofthe day if you're really
struggling, or if it's just alittle bit of a at the end of
the week, at the end of theweek, or at the end of the day,
I will be so proud if I at leastdid this. And then you're going
(20:47):
to find that feeling proud isone of the things that helps you
get out of a funk. And then ontop of that, you're going to
prove to yourself that even whenyou're in a funk, you can still
stay on track to some degree. Sowhat I used to do is, when I was
in a funk, it would almost belike shit hit the fan, like I
would just kind of give up allthe things. It would be like I'm
(21:08):
not feeling good, or I'minjured, or I have this
happening, we've got company, orwhatever, so it's almost like I
can't do anything I really wantto do. And it's such a limiting
belief to give up all ofourselves. And usually, what
we're giving up, you know,usually all the things we're
giving up is our own goals. It'swhat we're eating and how we're
(21:28):
moving. Those are like the firsttwo things to go whenever we are
in any kind of funk or crisis ordifferent situation happening in
our lives, right? We still feedour kids, we still pay our
bills, we still show up for ourclients, we do all that, but we
give up our own movement, andwhat we put in our mouth is
drastically affected, and Idon't want it to be that way for
(21:49):
you. What can I do that I willbe proud of at the end of the
day? Okay? Number four, this oneI got from my mom. My mom taught
me from a very young age, if youare not happy, if you are in a
funk, if you are struggling,serve others. How can you start
thinking about others and takeyour mind away from your own
(22:13):
struggle? Whatever our strugglesare, there are other people in
our lives that have it worse,that need our support, and that
is such a great thing to do ifyou are struggling in any way.
How can I support someone else?
Can I make food for someoneelse? Can I call and check on
someone else? Can I pray forsomeone else or think of them or
(22:36):
just send them a message? Therewas a girl in town who lost her
husband a few months ago, andwe're not very, very close. And
of course I met there washundreds of Facebook comments,
and of course I said, Oh, myGod, I'm thinking about you. I'm
so sorry. But it was about amonth after, and I was just
thinking about her, and I justreached out to her, and I sent
her a message, and I just aprivate message, and I said,
Hey, I just want you to know youhave been on my mind and in my
(22:59):
thoughts and in my prayers somuch knowing that maybe she
wouldn't even message me back,but like in that moment, it's
like I am going to take any kindof thoughts about what's going
on in my own life and justsupport her in that moment,
because I know she would do thesame for me if I was in the same
situation. So serving others,thinking about others. How can
(23:21):
we help other people? How can welove on other people? Such a
great way to get out of a funk.
And number five, be intentionalabout your self care. I think we
all now know that self care isnot girls night outs. Although a
Girls Night Out is amazing, itcan be healing for the soul, for
sure, but like when I think ofself care, the reason I don't
(23:43):
think girls night out isnecessarily the definition of
self care is a lot of times fora lot of people, Girls Night Out
is like cocktails and latenights and and sometimes those
are helping us, maybe in themoment, but not necessarily for
our future. But there, therestill is a lot of amazing things
that happened with a girl'snight out. But when we think of
self care, I think we know it'snot taking baths, it's not wild
(24:04):
nights out, it's not paintingour nails, it or even getting a
massage. I think that self care,to me, is taking time to check
in with me and taking time totreat myself like I treat my
children. How are you? What doyou need from me? What's going
(24:24):
on with you right now? You areso wonderful and so loved. Do
you know that right having thatkind of conversation with us,
it's a beautiful time tojournal. It's a beautiful time
to meditate or pray or connectwith your future self or your
god or your universal energy, orwhoever is your Creator. Self
(24:47):
Care, I think the most beautifulform of self care is really
checking in with yourself andchecking in with your mindset.
And your emotions and holdingspace. And when I say holding
space, that's a very coach termtype of thing to say. And what I
mean by that is it's reallytaking care of you and allowing
(25:09):
all of it. And it kind of goesback to number one. It's
noticing what am I feeling. Imean, that's the ultimate of
self care. What am I feeling andwhy it's like I'm devastated
because this thing happened? Oh,of course, you're devastated.
Let's take care of ourselves. OrI'm really frustrated. Why? It's
(25:30):
because I have a thought that'snot serving me. Is there another
way I can think differentlyabout this? If I did think
differently, what would I do?
Can I do that? Can I get somemovement? How can I take care of
myself? To me, that is selfcare. It's really not only
(25:51):
taking care of yourself in themoment, but it's taking care of
you in the future as well. So weare all going to get in funks.
Like I said, I probably get infunk like three times a week,
and they don't last very long,because I have this beautiful
protocol of what I do formyself, right? Sometimes I
immediately go to movement,sometimes I immediately go to
(26:12):
journaling. Sometimes Iimmediately go to what am I
thinking? What am I feeling? Oractually the opposite, what am I
feeling, and then what am Ithinking and what is really
going on with me, and how can Isupport myself? And I will tell
you, especially with themovement thing, because I think
the movement one is soimportant. Let me just tell you
you're not going to feel likemoving. So don't think that when
(26:35):
you are in a funk. You're goingto go, I'm in a funk, you know
what? I'm going to go for a run.
You're not going to want to doit, especially if going for a
run or going for a walk. Itdoesn't even matter what kind of
movement it is, it's sometimesit can be hard on an average day
that you're not in a funk, butI'm telling you, if you can get
yourself, bare minimum, to gofor a walk, get outside in
nature, then it will have amassive impact on your funk. And
(26:57):
can it be okay that you kind ofdon't want to sometimes I'll
even say to myself, I do notwant to go to the gym, I do not
want to go for a walk, but I'mgoing to go because I know it's
going to make me feel better,and then it will make me feel
better, and then I have createdevidence that I am really good
(27:17):
at understanding how to takecare of myself and understanding
how to get out of a funk. Andhere's what you will do, girl,
is the next time you are in afunk, you're going to be like, I
know what to do. I know what todo for myself, because I've done
it many times, and I know whathasn't worked in the past. What
hasn't worked in the past is,you know, kind of not doing all
(27:38):
the things I wanted to do, andeating all the things, and
laying and doing, you know, andjust kind of scratching my day
and feeling sorry for myself,because that oftentimes leads to
a few days of that, and thenyou're being inconsistent, and
you're not going to be livingthe life you want to live. So I
hope you will use these fivetools to help yourself get out
(27:59):
of a funk and get back on track.
It's one of the most profoundresults I create for women in my
program, they tell me, I stillgot off track, but now I get on
track so much faster, and I'mlike, yep, you will always get
off track. You are always goingto eat two brownies when you
promised. You said you'd eatone. You're always going to
(28:21):
sleep in when you said you'dwake up. You're always going to
skip the gym when you said yougo to the gym for the rest of
our lives. We are going to getin a funk. We are going to not
follow through. But if you canget back on track faster, that
is when you will see massiveresults in your life. I hope you
have a great tuesday if you areready to lose weight and keep it

to the podcast episode 87 how toget out of a funk and get back
on track. This is going to be agreat episode today. First, I
want to tell you I'm reallyexcited that I have launched my
(01:16):
YouTube channel so modern body,modern life. Courtney Gray is on
YouTube. If this is somethingI've been wanting to do for a
while, this is something I'vebeen working on for a while. My
intention was to have this doneby the end of last year, but
when I started diving intoYouTube, I really realized that
I wanted to take more time toreally do it right. And I'm so
(01:37):
glad I did, because I'm reallyproud of the YouTube channel.
There's already four videosthere for you, and I'm going to
be adding videos every week. Andthe whole reason for doing
YouTube, besides just the wholebusiness, you know, thoughts on
business and how to build abusiness, is because this
podcast is very successful. Ihave a lot of women that are
(01:57):
lifts listening and loving thispodcast and learning and using
what they're learning from thispodcast, which is amazing. And
then I the other platform thatI'm on consistently is is
Instagram. And although I dolove Instagram, I am constantly
fighting up against this. How doI say something mean of
meaningful in under 90 seconds,or however many seconds they
(02:19):
give you to make a reel? And Ifeel like I don't love rushing
and saying things fast and justit feels very like I just want
to teach more. I want people toreally understand, and it's hard
for me to say something powerfulthat's not gimmicky and not just
annoying in under 90 seconds.
And so I thought YouTube reallyis the perfect blending between
Instagram and between thispodcast. So I'm not just taking
(02:42):
this podcast and throwing up avideo of me recording this
podcast on YouTube. That's notat all what this is. I am
creating videos for YouTube.
They're usually going to bearound 10 to 15 minutes long,
and they really are teachingvideos. If you've been to any of
my workshops or master classesor trainings. They are like
(03:03):
almost a mini training or a minimaster class, something that you
can watch while you're on yourlunch break or while you're
waiting for something, butsomething that you can watch
with enough time to actuallydigest it and understand it. And
I'm really excited about it, soI'm going to be putting some
clips on Instagram, just to kindof entice you to go over there.
I would love for you to go overthere to subscribe and like my
(03:26):
videos. That would mean so muchto me. So enjoy modern body,
modern life on YouTube, you knowwhat? And I'll also, I'll put
the link in the show notes, justin case you'd like to to have an
easy access to it. Also, monthof July, I'm getting ready for
my next launch of myfoundational program, modern
body, modern life. We are goingto be starting in August, mid
(03:47):
August. So I am, you know, I'malways redoing. I'm always up
leveling, not only myself and mylife, but I'm always up leveling
my coaching, my programs, myworkbooks, my materials, and so
I'm really excited to be goingthrough all of my videos, and
how can I make them better? Howcan I make this more
understandable? How can I makethis simpler? And I'm also
(04:08):
redoing the workbook, and I'mjust really, really excited for
this group. This program is forwomen who want to lose between
10 and 15 pounds by learning howto be in control of their eating
and their body and their life.
And always, this is so much morethan weight loss. This is about
you understanding why you eat inthe first place and really
fixing that. It's you living abigger life. You loving the life
(04:30):
and the health and the bodyyou're in to a higher level. And
this all takes mindset. So thatis what this three month group
is going to be about. So you'llhear, stay tuned. You'll hear
more about that, but that's whatI'm doing. The month of July is
really making that even better.
So let's dive into the podcast,how to get out of a funk and get
(04:52):
back on track. And first of all,let me define what I say is a
funk. To me, a funk is anytimeyou're not feeling like you you.
And this can be a lot ofdifferent reasons. I mean,
sometimes we have things happenin our life that are sad. We
have people that pass away. Wehave we have diagnosis is we
have animals that pass away. Wehave just sad things that happen
in our lives, and we can kind ofget in a funk for those reasons.
(05:15):
And then sometimes, I don't knowabout you, but sometimes I just
wake up and I don't know if it'shormones or sometimes I don't
even know what is happening, butI don't feel like myself. I
really feel like the only thingI can say is I like, literally
woke up on the wrong side of thebed. I just don't feel like
myself. And so how do you getout of that and get back on
track? And a funk can also justbe from your mindset. A funk can
(05:37):
also be that you've got thingsgoing on in your life and you
have thoughts that are makingyou feel emotions you don't want
to be feeling, and then that iscreating this funk of you not
living the way you want to. So Iguess that's how I should really
close out what a funk is. It'sreally you not feeling the way
you want to feel, and thenyou're not living the way you
want to which is means you'renot eating the way you want to
(05:58):
eat, you're not thinking the wayyou want to think. You're not
moving the way you want to move.
You're not taking care ofyourself and your health, and
you're really, oftentimes morepresent, focused and less future
focused, which is never a placewe want to be for very long, but
this is a place we all get tomultiple times. Throughout the
year, we are going to get into afunk. So what I want to help you
do is know how to get out of itfaster. And I'm gonna really
(06:22):
talk about how I get out of afunk faster and get back on
track. I'm going to give youfive of the ways that I do in my
own life, get out of a funk andget back on track faster. Number
one, the first thing I do isidentify the thoughts and
feelings that are creating myfunk. So ask yourself, what is
(06:42):
happening, and that sounds sosilly. I mean, if you have
something catastrophicallyhappening, if you just had an
animal pass away, we know what'shappening, right, but you do
have thoughts that are makingyou feel a certain way in that
moment. At some point, maybe youcan turn those thoughts around
and feel differently, butidentifying the thoughts and
feelings that are creating yourfunk is so important. When you
(07:04):
can identify the feelings, it'seasier to figure out what the
thoughts that are creating them,and this is how I do it. And so
the first thing if I'm notfeeling right, I will say to
myself, What am I feeling rightnow? Because sometimes it's hard
to go directly to the thought.
So I think, what am I feelingright now? Am I feeling
(07:24):
discouraged? Am I feeling justblah? Am I feeling guilt? Am I
feeling unmotivated, like whatis happening? And really try to
identify the feeling in my bodyis what I do. And then I say,
Okay, this is the way I'mfeeling. And then, what are the
thoughts that are making me feelthis way? I do this a lot. When
I get bored, I have the luxuryof being bored sometimes, and so
(07:48):
I will say, I'm not feelingright. What is it? I'm feeling
okay. I'm feeling bored. Okay.
Why am I feeling bored? What'shappening? And I just say,
usually, the thought for me is Idon't know what to do, or I
don't know what I should bedoing, or I don't know what's
best, or what really ends uphappening for me is I want to
relax because I've done a lot ofwork, but I'm not allowing
(08:09):
myself. So that's boredom. Butthen underneath the boredom,
there's like a level of guilt orshame that I'm not allowing
myself to just watch Outlanderand drink some tea. For God's
sakes, it's really important forme to say, oh, here we go again.
Courtney, you're feeling bored.
Okay, I'm feeling bored becauseI'm telling myself, I don't know
(08:29):
what's going on. I don't knowwhat to do. And then when I go
underneath the boredom, what isreally going on with me, I'm
feeling a bit of like, shame onyou. You shouldn't be watching
TV. If you could be washing thewindows, you could be going to
visit your parents, you could bedoing all these things. And so
that from that point, my friend,from that point, I can say, oh,
(08:53):
okay, do I want to believethat's true, that I should be
doing all these other things? DoI want to believe it's true that
I don't believe I deserve abreak. No, I don't want to
believe that's true. And then Ican say, How is it possible that
I've done enough and I deserve abreak? And then if I can start
thinking about all of that, Ican get myself out of shame, and
(09:17):
then I can get myself out ofboredom, because then I say, I'm
not bored, I'm actually enjoyingmyself. I'm gonna sit here and
watch Outlander. I'm not bored.
I'm intentionally taking somedowntime to watch TV, or I'm
intentionally taking somedowntime to lay out and read a
book. And so from that space,I'm not bored anymore. I've just
dropped the shame. I've justdropped the story that I don't
deserve to be relaxing, that Ihaven't done enough.
(09:43):
And so the first thing I do,number one, is identify the
thoughts and feelings that arecreating my funk. You get so
much awareness in this moment,and when you get more awareness
in this moment, that is what isgoing to stop you from eating or
drinking more than you want to.
Or just doing other things thatare not really what you want to
do with your life. So again,when you identify the feeling
(10:06):
first, oftentimes it's easier tofigure out what thoughts are
creating, the feelings and Ilove just asking myself, is
there another way to think aboutwhat's happening? It's at the
end of a long day I've done allthis stuff. I'm feeling a little
bored. Why am I feeling bored?
Oh, I'm telling myself I don'tknow what to do. And then it's
(10:27):
like, wait. I'm also tellingmyself I shouldn't be doing
this. Hmm, that shame. Do Ireally want to feel that way? Do
I really want to think this way?
And from that space, we can getourselves out of a funk. We can
get ourselves to actually watchsome TV and enjoy ourselves. Or
we can get ourselves to maybehave a brownie and have it just
be about a brownie. Or we canget ourselves to not work out
(10:50):
for a day and take a rest daywithout feeling shame. Now I
will caution you that when youfind the feeling and the thought
that is creating it, and youdecide to think something new.
It's not necessarily always likea snap over like a Oh, I just
need to think differently. Oh,thank god. I'm all I'm good, I'm
(11:11):
good. You have to sometimes sitthere and you have to actually
practice that thought and reallytry to sell yourself on that
thought. And here's one lastlittle piece of advice when it
comes to identifying thoughtsand feelings, when you identify
a better thought that is goingto make you feel a certain way,
if you actually believed it,what you can say to yourself is
(11:33):
okay. I'd like to believe I justdid this the other night. I'd
like to believe that I have doneenough work today, and I deserve
to sit on the couch and justrelax, or i i believe that i
have done enough, and I'm worthyenough that I can take a day off
and I don't have to record apodcast, I don't have to check
in with clients. I can do justrelax and enjoy my life. But we
don't necessarily click overinto feeling that way right
(11:57):
away. It's not like, Oh, Itotally believe that, but
sometimes what you can do is youcan say, if I actually believed
that, what would I do? So theother day, when I did this, I
thought I have done enough. I'mdoing a great job at life. I'm
proud of how I'm showing up. Iknow that originally I thought I
was a little bit bored, but thenI identified that I'm feeling a
(12:17):
little shame, because I'mtelling myself I shouldn't be
relaxing, but I've decided thatI deserve to relax. There's
nothing wrong with taking a day.
And even though I didn't havethat click over, I decided, what
would I do if I believed that,if I believed that I would take
the day, if I believed that Iwould watch some TV and then I'd
(12:40):
go swimming, and then I'd readmy book, and I would keep
reminding myself all day. And sothat's what I did. So sometimes,
if it's hard when you when youidentify like, is there another
way to think about this? Andit's hard to necessarily believe
that new way of thinking of it,you can say, what would I do if
I did believe this and do thatthing. It's very similar with
(13:02):
confidence. You can say toyourself, if I was confident,
what would I do? And then you'dsay, if I was confident, I would
post something on Instagram. IfI was confident, I would go up
and volunteer for this or that.
In order to get more confident,you do those things, and that
will build the confidence and bydoing the other day, when I did
this over the weekend, when Iallowed myself to take the day,
(13:24):
when I allowed myself to swimand just luxuriously read my
book and do all these things,and as I went throughout my day,
I believed it more and more andmore, yes, this is what I need
to be doing. This is what mysoul needs right now, I am very
much really feeling therecuperating effects of taking
some time. So that's number one,is identifying the thoughts and
(13:46):
feelings that are creating yourfunk. And I would suggest
finding the feeling first, whatthought is creating that
feeling, and what would you liketo think instead? Right? Is
there another way to think aboutthis, and if you did really
think that way, believe thatway, what would you do? And
sometimes you do that, and ithelps you believe that way. Now
let me say this aboutidentifying thoughts and
(14:09):
feelings that are creating yourfunk. Sometimes we don't want to
get out of a funk. Sometimesyou're going to find as you go
throughout your life whensomething especially when
something sad happens, or youfeel really just heartbroken.
Sometimes we don't want to getout of a funk. Sometimes you've
even felt this way right whereyou're like, you know what, I'm
(14:30):
sad and discouraged and I don'teven want to get out of it. What
I say in that moment is justallow yourself to have some
time. So usually when we are sador really struggling, it's not
just because we're having athought that's not serving us.
It's not just because we got outof the off on the wrong side of
the bed. Usually that'ssomething that is heavier in our
life. It's we are reallystruggling with one of our kids,
(14:53):
or maybe we just found out somenews that's one of our friends,
something devastating had.
Happened to them, and you arejust you feel like the wind has
been taken out of you, or maybesomething Financial has happened
that just feels really big, andit's again taken the wind out of
you. Or maybe you've had a deathin the family or of an animal.
In those moments, we can say,Wow, we are in a funk, but we
(15:17):
don't necessarily want toreframe this right now, and
that's okay, too. And so in thatmoment, you're going to want to
skip to number five. I'm goingto talk about really being
intentional about your selfcare. But my hope is that when
you really are and I'll talkabout five when I get to it, of
course, but when you really areintentional about your self
care, and you you canacknowledge I'm in a funk, and
(15:38):
here's why I'm really, reallydevastated because this or that
happened, and you really takecare of yourself, that will get
you back on track faster. Butsometimes we don't want to
immediately get out of it, andthat's okay, and you can still
create an amazing body and lifewithout having to so quickly get
(15:58):
out of it. So number two, moveyour body. This was almost
number one for me, but I alwayshave to start with mindset. But
I am telling you, there is justso much power in moving your
body. Do not wait formotivation, even if it is just a
little bit of movement,movement, even if it's
(16:21):
stretching, even if it's alittle bit of a walk, even if
it's a little bit of fiveminutes of yoga, even if it's a
little bit of breath work, eventhough, usually with breath
work, you're kind of layingthere. But breathing is
movement. When we move our body,physiologically, it shifts our
energy, and it can really shiftour mindset and get us out of a
(16:45):
funk. The other day, I was in alittle bit of a funk. I feel
like I'm in funks at least twoto three times a week. I mean, I
think being in a little bit of afunk, not a sad, devastating
funk, but a kind of I don't feellike doing this, or, Oh, I'm not
feeling great, or I didn't sleepthat great, probably three times
a week for me. So that's whythis is such an important
podcast. But when I can getmyself to move my body, it gets
(17:10):
me. It is the fastest thing thatwill get me out of a funk. And
sometimes I will will evenforego doing any thought work,
because I think you know what, Idon't know what's going on with
me, but I know if I go for awalk, it'll probably end up
turning into a run, and I amgoing to be so much better for
it. I'm going to be feelingbetter. I'm going to be feeling
(17:30):
proud. I am just going to be soglad I did it right. Have you
ever gotten exercise and thoughtI wish I hadn't done that? No.
Have you ever done any of thereally good things for your
soul. And thought, I wish Ihadn't done that. Have you ever
meditated or prayed or donesomething like that? And think,
Ugh, that was a waste of time. Ido think some people think that
(17:50):
about meditation, but that'sbecause they think they're doing
meditation wrong. You're notdoing meditation wrong. To me,
even trying to meditate meansyou're doing it right. Even
taking that stillness and thatmoment to do it is worthy of
your time, and it is doing itright. And so moving your body
is such a great place to start.
If I can't get out for a run, Iwill, at the very least say to
(18:14):
myself, I'm going to walk aroundthe block, or I'm going to get
in the pool and just move aroundalways makes you feel better.
And I should say that when doingthe research for this podcast,
there are so many studies thatsupport this, that when you
exercise regularly, it changesyour brain chemistry. It changes
(18:36):
it. It increases yourendorphins, it increases
dopamine, increases serotonin,it improves sleep, it reduces
inflammation, it boosts yourmood, and it has many of the
effects that so many people areturning to medication for. So
the research is out there thatwe know moving our body is such
a great way to get out of afunk. Okay? Number three, asking
(18:58):
yourself, What can I do that Iwill be proud of at the end of
the day. This is something Ilove. Asking myself, if I'm
feeling sleep deprived or notfeeling good, or headachy or in
a funk, and I will say tomyself, Okay, Courtney, what can
(19:18):
I dothat? I will be really glad I
did at the end of the day. Haveyou ever tried this? I've talked
about it on the podcast a fewtimes. Have you ever really
tried that at the end of theday? Sometimes I'll do it at the
end of the week. I did this thismorning. Actually. I thought to
myself, Okay, Courtney, by theend of the week, because I have
a shorter week today, becauseI'm going on vacation this
(19:40):
weekend. What are you going tobe most proud of if you did? It
really clarifies what is themost important so when you ask
yourself, What can I do that Iwill be proud of at the end of
the day or at the end of theweek? It really takes away all
the fluff. It takes away all thestuff. Stuff that we are saying
yes to that really isn't movingthe needle in our life, whether
(20:02):
it's moving the needle with yourhealth or with your
relationships or with yourorganization or with your goals.
So what can you do? So often wewhen we're in a funk, especially
we're in a funk, and there'sreasons we're in a funk, and
we're telling ourselves we can'tdo this. We can't do that, you
know. And so what can you do ifyou're injured? What can you do
(20:24):
if you have a headache? What canyou do if you're really sad?
What can you do? It's such agreat question to ask yourself
and go to either at the end ofthe day if you're really
struggling, or if it's just alittle bit of a at the end of
the week, at the end of theweek, or at the end of the day,
I will be so proud if I at leastdid this. And then you're going
(20:47):
to find that feeling proud isone of the things that helps you
get out of a funk. And then ontop of that, you're going to
prove to yourself that even whenyou're in a funk, you can still
stay on track to some degree. Sowhat I used to do is, when I was
in a funk, it would almost belike shit hit the fan, like I
would just kind of give up allthe things. It would be like I'm
(21:08):
not feeling good, or I'minjured, or I have this
happening, we've got company, orwhatever, so it's almost like I
can't do anything I really wantto do. And it's such a limiting
belief to give up all ofourselves. And usually, what
we're giving up, you know,usually all the things we're
giving up is our own goals. It'swhat we're eating and how we're
(21:28):
moving. Those are like the firsttwo things to go whenever we are
in any kind of funk or crisis ordifferent situation happening in
our lives, right? We still feedour kids, we still pay our
bills, we still show up for ourclients, we do all that, but we
give up our own movement, andwhat we put in our mouth is
drastically affected, and Idon't want it to be that way for
(21:49):
you. What can I do that I willbe proud of at the end of the
day? Okay? Number four, this oneI got from my mom. My mom taught
me from a very young age, if youare not happy, if you are in a
funk, if you are struggling,serve others. How can you start
thinking about others and takeyour mind away from your own
(22:13):
struggle? Whatever our strugglesare, there are other people in
our lives that have it worse,that need our support, and that
is such a great thing to do ifyou are struggling in any way.
How can I support someone else?
Can I make food for someoneelse? Can I call and check on
someone else? Can I pray forsomeone else or think of them or
(22:36):
just send them a message? Therewas a girl in town who lost her
husband a few months ago, andwe're not very, very close. And
of course I met there washundreds of Facebook comments,
and of course I said, Oh, myGod, I'm thinking about you. I'm
so sorry. But it was about amonth after, and I was just
thinking about her, and I justreached out to her, and I sent
her a message, and I just aprivate message, and I said,
Hey, I just want you to know youhave been on my mind and in my
(22:59):
thoughts and in my prayers somuch knowing that maybe she
wouldn't even message me back,but like in that moment, it's
like I am going to take any kindof thoughts about what's going
on in my own life and justsupport her in that moment,
because I know she would do thesame for me if I was in the same
situation. So serving others,thinking about others. How can
(23:21):
we help other people? How can welove on other people? Such a
great way to get out of a funk.
And number five, be intentionalabout your self care. I think we
all now know that self care isnot girls night outs. Although a
Girls Night Out is amazing, itcan be healing for the soul, for
sure, but like when I think ofself care, the reason I don't
(23:43):
think girls night out isnecessarily the definition of
self care is a lot of times fora lot of people, Girls Night Out
is like cocktails and latenights and and sometimes those
are helping us, maybe in themoment, but not necessarily for
our future. But there, therestill is a lot of amazing things
that happened with a girl'snight out. But when we think of
self care, I think we know it'snot taking baths, it's not wild
(24:04):
nights out, it's not paintingour nails, it or even getting a
massage. I think that self care,to me, is taking time to check
in with me and taking time totreat myself like I treat my
children. How are you? What doyou need from me? What's going
(24:24):
on with you right now? You areso wonderful and so loved. Do
you know that right having thatkind of conversation with us,
it's a beautiful time tojournal. It's a beautiful time
to meditate or pray or connectwith your future self or your
god or your universal energy, orwhoever is your Creator. Self
(24:47):
Care, I think the most beautifulform of self care is really
checking in with yourself andchecking in with your mindset.
And your emotions and holdingspace. And when I say holding
space, that's a very coach termtype of thing to say. And what I
mean by that is it's reallytaking care of you and allowing
(25:09):
all of it. And it kind of goesback to number one. It's
noticing what am I feeling. Imean, that's the ultimate of
self care. What am I feeling andwhy it's like I'm devastated
because this thing happened? Oh,of course, you're devastated.
Let's take care of ourselves. OrI'm really frustrated. Why? It's
(25:30):
because I have a thought that'snot serving me. Is there another
way I can think differentlyabout this? If I did think
differently, what would I do?
Can I do that? Can I get somemovement? How can I take care of
myself? To me, that is selfcare. It's really not only
(25:51):
taking care of yourself in themoment, but it's taking care of
you in the future as well. So weare all going to get in funks.
Like I said, I probably get infunk like three times a week,
and they don't last very long,because I have this beautiful
protocol of what I do formyself, right? Sometimes I
immediately go to movement,sometimes I immediately go to
(26:12):
journaling. Sometimes Iimmediately go to what am I
thinking? What am I feeling? Oractually the opposite, what am I
feeling, and then what am Ithinking and what is really
going on with me, and how can Isupport myself? And I will tell
you, especially with themovement thing, because I think
the movement one is soimportant. Let me just tell you
you're not going to feel likemoving. So don't think that when
(26:35):
you are in a funk. You're goingto go, I'm in a funk, you know
what? I'm going to go for a run.
You're not going to want to doit, especially if going for a
run or going for a walk. Itdoesn't even matter what kind of
movement it is, it's sometimesit can be hard on an average day
that you're not in a funk, butI'm telling you, if you can get
yourself, bare minimum, to gofor a walk, get outside in
nature, then it will have amassive impact on your funk. And
(26:57):
can it be okay that you kind ofdon't want to sometimes I'll
even say to myself, I do notwant to go to the gym, I do not
want to go for a walk, but I'mgoing to go because I know it's
going to make me feel better,and then it will make me feel
better, and then I have createdevidence that I am really good
(27:17):
at understanding how to takecare of myself and understanding
how to get out of a funk. Andhere's what you will do, girl,
is the next time you are in afunk, you're going to be like, I
know what to do. I know what todo for myself, because I've done
it many times, and I know whathasn't worked in the past. What
hasn't worked in the past is,you know, kind of not doing all
(27:38):
the things I wanted to do, andeating all the things, and
laying and doing, you know, andjust kind of scratching my day
and feeling sorry for myself,because that oftentimes leads to
a few days of that, and thenyou're being inconsistent, and
you're not going to be livingthe life you want to live. So I
hope you will use these fivetools to help yourself get out
(27:59):
of a funk and get back on track.
It's one of the most profoundresults I create for women in my
program, they tell me, I stillgot off track, but now I get on
track so much faster, and I'mlike, yep, you will always get
off track. You are always goingto eat two brownies when you
promised. You said you'd eatone. You're always going to
(28:21):
sleep in when you said you'dwake up. You're always going to
skip the gym when you said yougo to the gym for the rest of
our lives. We are going to getin a funk. We are going to not
follow through. But if you canget back on track faster, that
is when you will see massiveresults in your life. I hope you
have a great tuesday if you areready to lose weight and keep it
(28:42):
off permanently and feelconfident and at peace around
food, I invite you to head toCourtney Gray coaching.com to
