Burnout to Badass!

Burnout to Badass!

Burnout (aka emotional fatigue) is a symptom of disconnect. This can be a disconnection from community, work, and your soul-self.

Burnout for me feels like my central nervous system is FREAKING THE F OUT and like deep inner conflict. Raise your hand, if your central nervous system freaked out 17x this year?

I want to acknowledge and normalize our collective burnout. I want to recognize that burnout looks different for each individual.

When I was 25, I experienced severe burnout. I numbed myself with TV and alcohol. I poured myself into relationships that were not serving me. I found a partner who was emotionally abusing me. (and we broke up leaving an emotional hangover that lasted longer than the relationship itself) My self-talk, my mindset, my self-love were very low. I was in full-on in self-blame central & victim mindset. I felt like everything was happening to me. And only to me. As if out of 7 billion people in the world, I was the only one going through a breakup. I isolated myself. I isolated myself in a way that made it seem like I wasn’t “isolating.” You know the way where you show up enough that no one really notices that something is off. My social calendar was full and I made it a point to never really be alone. I forced myself to sleep before any racing thoughts would flood through. (Every sleeping remedy, I had within arms reach)

Basically, I was suppressing my emotions. I wasn’t giving myself permission to feel the burnout from holding space for cancer patients. I wasn’t giving myself permission to feel the grief of a breakup. I wasn’t giving myself permission to feel the pain of not being where I thought I would be at 25.

I believe everything that we need to heal is already inside of us. However, society has taught us to suppress our emotions and discount our intuition. This makes it harder for us to trust our intuition and really listen to it. I am here to say that it’s OKAY that it may be hard to listen to your intuition, and I believe that you can rise above Societal conditioning and LISTEN to your own intuition.

At this moment, I invite you to place your hand over your heart. I invite you to breathe at a pace that feels good to you. I invite you to breathe and go a little deeper. I invite you to ask your heart, what do you need at this moment, to feel good?

Soften your gaze. Roll out your shoulders. Release any tension remaining in your body. For me, the tension is usually in my neck and shoulders. I like to roll it out and breathe through it. And, ask yourself, what do I need at this moment? And listen. Really listen.

The more we connect with our intuition. The more connected we feel to our soul, and the more we can soothe our burnout. The more we enter the Burnout to Badass mindset. Burnout to Badass is a state of mind and the reminder that you can be a masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time.
