Retreat to Advance

Burnout is real. 

You feel it as to-the-bone tiredness that sleep cannot heal. You just keep exhaling, wondering when you’ll be able to breathe in again. Apathy has crept in where passion once lived. Inspiration is nowhere to be found. You give and give and give. Even the reserves are empty, there is nothing left to give. The drive that once fanned the flames of motivation has smoldered cold. How will you ever get it back again?

Stress is the perceived presence of a threat. Sometimes stress can be a good thing! It makes us sharp and focused, energetic and ready, but running hot all the time, living in a state of stress without recovery leads to burnout. However, self care has been presented as putting on the brakes. When you’re running on empty and life feels like its careening downhill, slamming on the brakes feels unsafe. And so you keep going. But what if stress management is actually more like filling up the tank than taking your foot off the gas?
