Self-care isn’t always bubble baths and yoga.
Sometimes it’s doing absolutely nothing — and being okay with it. We can often hold beliefs that doing nothing means we are lazy. Up bringing and societal pressure can play a part. This can certainly contribute to burnout.
Your nervous system needs a reset sometimes so that you can do all the lovely things you like doing in life!

You don’t need to earn your rest.
You don’t have to justify your stillness.
Rest is productive. Silence is healing.
Pausing is powerful.

If today your self-care looks like lying on the couch, ignoring the to-do list, and just being — that’s more than enough. 🤍

📌 Reminder: You are allowed to rest simply because you exist.

Asking for help is hard..but so is living with Burnout. Its exhausting, overwhelming and takes the joy out of life. You stop focusing on whats important in life as its all you can focus on.
You can learn to say no and stand up for what you believe in, despite the discomfort.

You can learn that its not all your responsibility to get s*** done..they have a responsibility too.

We werent meant to do it all alone, asking for help from others helps us to bounce back from hard times..thats resilience.

I support people to manage Burnout every week. You can reach out to me via my website if you need some support to manage yours.
