One year into my 30's, I'm already starting to feel a shift. Many have shared how they started to feel a difference within especially with their body. Now I understand what they mean.
The more you overwork yourself the more time it takes to bounce back. As an Aries and Pitta burnout is not a stranger to me. I've worked myself to the bone more times than I can count. Just getting into my 30's, I already started feeling it. When I was as a child to my 20's working hours on end and pushing to overachieve, when I was exhausted I was able to rest for a bit then bounce back up as if it was nothing. Now when I do I struggle and I mean I struggle.
Now the realization I can't do what I've been doing, it was never sustainable in fact it drained me so much. I didn't even realize how much and how bad. The next phase was part of my internal self beating myself everyday for being "lazy" & "useless". These heavy harmful words weaken my fire more than the burnout did.
By the time the spring equinox came around, I've come to understand that judging myself for needing rest and to go slow not matter how often not only does more damage but robs myself from the self healing. This interrupts how I show up and serve my community, friends & family.
Yesterday on my birthday, I finally went out on a long awaited hike I've been dying to go on. Ended up going 5 miles wayyy more than I planned. Though my knees and hips were in pain from the lack of movement, every part of me told me to keep going. By the time I got in my car, I felt my flame grew an inch and couldn't stop smiling.
In summary, notice the key signs where you need to rest, to move, to pause for a breath is all to prevent burnout and stagnant in the body. Get out in nature more than ever, it holds the best space for healing and fun!
Huge thank you to everyone bday wishes and messages, it tears me up to hear how much impact I've made in each of your lives. That is the best present to receive!
