I am currently experiencing a period of burnout. I think it happens to all of us: swaths of time where we just feel drained and empty and in desperate need of recharge. I’m not sleeping well, so that’s not helping. This week, my partner was listing off my recent achievements to a friend and the list started to sound exhausting. I have a lot on the go right now, but I’m thinking many others do as well. I’m doing the continual work of trying to decentre myself and not place my importance in the middle of all this work, but when he rhymed off all the projects I have on the go right now, it helped me realize why my well is dry.
“whatever I have to give HAS to be enough” I really like that reframe of the mantra I AM ENOUGH. Affirmations like that tend to irk me because they don’t seem grounded in reality so your reframe is more realistic and helpful.
oh man,
I'm resonating so much with this right now.
Every step feels like an effort.
But, I still think you're awesome!
I still believe we can come together to organize systems that benefit all of us rather than an elite few.
We've got this.
someday.
Thanks James. More people definitely shares the load.
