DC VLOG | actually taking care of myself, 9-5 work life balance, burn out recovery

[@jbdjbd8922]

You are such a worthwhile human being. Be kind to yourself Amy.

[@amyrauch]

🤍🤍🤍

[@brookehill5941]

Definitely feeling the burn out too. It’s so hard when you have to keep going because so much is going on, and you feel like you are constantly playing the catch up game to stay on track 😭

[@amyrauch]

i was just talking to my bf about that this morning!!! i feel like whenever i get a ton done im relieved bc i must be getting closer to the finish line but then the finish line moves another 5 miles ahead and im back to how i originally felt

[@heyyitssj]

I find that whenever I’m burned out, taking some time off and taking a trip (even if it’s not far) really helps me

[@amyrauch]

yes, very much needed!!!

[@miadee4298]

These are such thoughtful gifts♥️ you’re a great friend!

[@rachelkmartinez617]

you are incredible, been watching you for so long and you are the realest person I have seen on here making this sort of content

[@amyrauch]

thank you so much for sticking w me!!!

[@cocokholl7005]

I’m so happy you posted this because I have been feeling this way as welll. Your list is a great start and motivation to tackle necessary tasks and I love the idea of gifting yourself something. It is important to reward yourself! We are on this journey together ❤️you got this

[@amyrauch]

I’m so glad you enjoyed!! you got this too 🫶

[@ninacogan7972]

Very into the bedding! I think what's missing is some art to bring in more colors/prints/personality. It's awesome that you have the white walls as a clean canvas to experiment and figure out what looks best to you!

[@amyrauch]

yes i for SURE need some art/color on the walls to make it feel like less of a jail cell lol

[@faith.92048]

Amy you are not alone in feeling burned out. I have been struggling with that too it’s definitely very overwhelming but I think it’s apart of our age group since we are in our mid 20s. I will be sharing a May reset video soon and in that video I am going to talk a little bit about my goals like you did. Ahaha one of them is to drink more water 😂

[@amyrauch]

yes i agree - i think it's a bit par for the course

[@HannahFoll]

It's so hard when this mental state happens. This happens to me too from time to time. I think that your list is a good one and it will help, and it's totally ok if you don't achieve all of them. A 1% difference each day is a huge change over a month or a season. I hope you feel better soon!

[@amyrauch]

true!!! that’s such a good mindset

[@HannahFoll]

@@amyrauch ❤

[@lucy8836]

Sorry to hear you've not been feeling yourself. Great you're being so self reflective and taking action to get back to yourself x😊

[@amyrauch]

thank you!!!

[@tumblrroom9721]

UGH I feel so burned out. I work in the health care industry and staffing is a huge issue and thus I find myself working 50 hours a week.

[@amyrauch]

I can’t even imagine!!!

[@hunter-adam]

first of all, #relatable to a lot of the things you said. second of all, apartment street noise is the WORST. my last apartment in arlington was on the route for all the fire trucks and ambulances and it was awful

[@amyrauch]

i actually dont mind it except when filming, i feel like theres comfort in knowing theres other people around!

[@BrunaLordelloC]

Burnout is not easy and only those who go through it know. I wish I was kinder to myself, so take care, Amy. The world is already tough on us, so let's be proud of ourselves for all the hard work we do on a daily basis. Also, I live in a very noisy street and it is honestly SO bad for my mental health. Kudos to you

[@amyrauch]

i actually finding it weirdly comforting unless im filming but can totally see how it could feel overstimulating/distracting

[@brookes6112]

Unrelated but I LOVE your darker hair! ❤

[@amyrauch]

THANK YOU I needed to hear that

[@jljacobs62]

Would love to see a decorating collaboration with you and Caroline Winkler since I know you're friends. Love her style and think it would work really well in your cute apartment! She could do a video on her channel as well to help draw people over to yours to see the finished results.

[@amyrauch]

She is so so talented (and super busy with her own clients tragically) but I would LOVE that, I’d give her my keys and credit card any day

[@brittanyo3087]

I always love the laugh out loud moments in your videos - “WELL! That’s all you can do in a day!” 😂

[@amyrauch]

hahahahahha thank u for appreciating my humor

[@hanaxleigh3]

you got this girl❤️

[@amyrauch]

🤍🤍🤍

[@CT8852]

Great idea to make a deliberate list to prioritize those actions that will get yourself back on track. I’m going to do the same! 🌺Karen

[@amyrauch]

you got this!!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Amy good morning happy Monday morning and I hope you having amazing weekend and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@amyrauch]

morning!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

@Amy Rauch good morning how are you ☺️

[@BrendaSarmanho]

missed you, amy! which camera do you use?

[@amyrauch]

mainly the g7x ii but a lot of this was filmed with my phone!

[@morellarebornvlogs]

I think our 20's is the best time to figure this stuff out, like "What does burnout look like for me? What can I do to prevent it? What can I do to recover from it?", etc. I'm still trying to figure it out myself 😅 Also, imo, those sheets give off more granny vibes 😬

[@amyrauch]

hahahaha the people have spoken, packing them back up to be returned

[@graceannreads]

The pollen in DC is HORRENDOUS this year 😭

[@amyrauch]

horrific

[@ruebennomura9143]

[@amyrauch]

[@AustinAlvarez]

Soooo I also love McDonald's... what is your go to order?

[@amyrauch]

nuggets, fries, rootbeer obvi

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Amy, almost my 29th birthday on April 27th.

[@amyrauch]

happy sunday!

[@renster971]

It seems that you are very inconsistent in posting vlogs and only post when there is a need for a sponsored blog for product placement. And you don't share much about your life other than hello fresh products. This channel had so much potential, but has kinda taken a very boring and repetitive downturn.

[@amyrauch]

i hear you!! majority of my sponsorships at this point are annual contracts/were negotiated months ago. i'd love to be able to post more vlogs between those deadlines, but as i mentioned in the video, i really am trying as hard as i can right now.

[@davidparnell3241]

Second

[@amyrauch]

wahooo

[@Jess_Smith0903]

I honestly think the floral print on the bedding gives me grandma vibes 🥲 however, it covers such a small portion of the whole thing, that I think you can get away with it by bringing some other focus points that gives a bit more of a modern vibe 🙂

[@amyrauch]

hahaha dang it, i think ur right
