Burnout and Habit Failure – Build from Rest, Not Hustle
Episode 3
In this episode of Godly Habits, we’re talking about burnout — what it really is, how it shows up, and why trying harder isn’t the answer. If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or like your habits never stick, this conversation will offer a breath of fresh air. You’ll learn what’s happening under the surface, how to spot pressure-driven habits, and how to start building sustainable rhythms that connect you to God — not just drain your energy.
⏱️ What You’ll Hear:
• How burnout shows up mentally, emotionally, and spiritually
• The difference between white-knuckling and God-centered habits
• Why daily habits rooted in grace matter for long-term healing
• A simple mindset shift and prayer for when habits feel heavy
• Medical insights into burnout and moral injury from Dr. Mason
🌿 Quick Win Practice:
Take 5–10 minutes to reflect on this:
“What’s been driving my desire to change?”
Pick 2–3 reflection questions shared in the episode and ask God to help you release any fear, shame, or pressure that’s been guiding your habits.
Reflection Questions
💔 To Expose Fear or Shame:
- Am I doing this because I'm afraid of what will happen if I don’t?
- Am I afraid of who might be disappointed if I don’t do this?
- If I mess up one day, do I feel like I have to hide my inconsistencies or start over in secret?
- How much time do I spend focusing on getting it just right — versus simply enjoying God?
- Do I believe God is disappointed with me if I fail at this?
⚠️ To Identify Pressure or Performance:
- Does this habit feel like a burden I have to carry — or an invitation to walk with God?
- Am I constantly comparing my habits to what others are doing (online, friends, family)?
- Do I feel like I can only rest after I’ve earned it by performing well?
- Am I more focused on what this habit looks like from the outside — than on what it’s doing in my heart?
- Would I still do this if no one ever saw or noticed my progress?
🌿 To Point Toward God-Centered Motivation:
- Does this habit help me stay connected to God — or does it make me feel more disconnected?
- When I miss a day, do I spiral with shame — or receive His mercy and begin again?
- Is this habit making me more gentle, more honest, more whole — or more anxious and ashamed?

• John 15:5 — “I am the vine; you are the branches... apart from me you can do nothing.”
