How to Live Intentionally When You Feel Burnt Out, Unproductive, or Just⦠Done
Introduction
Do you ever feel like doing nothingāeven when your to-do list is shouting at you?
Do you feel exhausted, uninspired, or just unmotivated?
In this powerful episode of the Luxury Unplugged Podcast, weāre joined by Alessandra VeronesiāAuthor, Relationship Educator, and Meditation Guideāas she shares deep, soulful insights into the importance of self-love and living intentionally.
Because letās face it: Success without self-love feels empty.
And burnout is not a badge of honorāit’s a sign itās time to realign.
Q1. Why does self-love matter so much in todayās high-speed world?
Because without it, everything becomes a performance.
Alessandra reminds us that when we donāt ground ourselves in love and compassion for who we are (not just what we do), we run the risk of:
- Chasing meaningless goals
- Burning out without joy
- Becoming strangers to ourselves
In her words:
āI once used to be in the rat race, climbing the ladder to nowhere. Now I meditate and teach people how to find joy.ā
Q2. What should you do when you feel unmotivated or burnt out?
⨠Step 1: Pause without guilt.
Rest isnāt laziness. Itās preparation for aligned action.
⨠Step 2: Ask better questions.
Instead of āWhy am I not doing more?ā ask:
āWhat is this moment trying to tell me?ā
āWhat would feel like love right now?ā
⨠Step 3: Return to your why.
Reconnect with your purpose. Your intention.
Let that fuel your next stepānot pressure.
Q3. What is intentional living, and how is it connected to self-love?
Intentional living means making decisions aligned with who you truly are, not who you think you should be.
Itās a daily practice of:
- Setting intentions with clarity
- Saying no to what drains you
- Saying yes to what brings peace, purpose, and passion
And the foundation? Radical self-love.
Without it, we keep trying to prove ourselves instead of being ourselves.
Q4. How can someone begin cultivating self-love today?
Here are a few gentle, powerful ways Alessandra recommends:
- š Daily mindfulness or meditation practice
- š Journaling your wins, feelings, and needs
- š¬ Replacing self-criticism with self-compassion
- šÆļø Spending time in quiet, without distractions
Most importantly, learn to sit with yourself without judgment.
Thatās where healing begins.
