It didn’t feel safe to stop. Guilt, bad boundaries and misaligned goals kept me in a burn out cycle for years.
This last burn out phase hit me hard. That I took about 4 months and did nothing. I only went to work, took care of my fur babies and read a romance novel here and there.
Everything else, I stopped doing because I felt that if I kept going this way, I was going to have a nervous breakdown. I was so tired of getting sick and had 3 months of back to back sinus infections to prove it.
That’s when I made a pact with myself that I would never go through this again.
No more burning my brain and body out so hard, that I wouldn’t take a day off work unless I lost my voice.
No more going to work with fevers because I had shitty boundaries. I was ready to move on from being the burn out queen, to some that took care of themselves and could say no without wanting to puke.
I took myself through a process of finding the core underlying reasons why this kept happening and moved on. Now, it is my goal to help you do the same thing.
