"A kick in the butt" = Cú đá vào mông -> Một hành động/cử chỉ có ý tốt đẹp để tạo động lực cho người nhận cú đá đó (người tiếp nhận, lĩnh hội).

Ví dụ
Those are the people who will encourage you, brainstorm (động não) with you, listen to you, and give you a kick in the butt when you need one.

“He’s our leader,” Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler said. “We understand sometimes we need a kick in the butt, and he’s the guy who can provide that. On any given night, you know he’s going to come out and compete. Even if he’s not on the score sheet, he’s working, he’s killing penalties, he’s playing physical. He’s a guy we look to when times get tough.”

Bouncing back after a relationship ends is rarely instantaneous (tức thời). It's tempting to wallow in self-pity (tủi thân) or pine after your ex, even if the relationship ended for a good reason. Laughing helps, spending time with friends helps, but sometimes, a kick in the butt is what you need more than anything. Plenty of people have survived breakups, and — believe it or not — you will, too. If you need a little help picking yourself up and moving on from your ex, these inspiring breakup movies are sure to do the trick.
