When we ignore rest, our lives eventually show it.
Fatigue, disconnection, and loss of joy are often signs we’ve been running on empty too long.
Taking time to pause isn’t selfish. It’s an intentional way to restore balance and reconnect with what matters most.
We invite you to reflect on where you are today.
Signs of Exhaustion or Burnout:
➡️ Feeling drained or emotionally numb
➡️ Loss of joy or passion in work
➡️ Irritability, impatience, or cynicism
➡️ Difficulty resting or feeling guilty for stopping
➡️ Emotional or spiritual dryness
➡️ Physical exhaustion or frequent illness
➡️ Overcommitment or inability to say “no”
➡️ Feeling like your worth depends on performance
➡️ Isolation or withdrawal from support
Signs of Emotional Health or Balance:
➡️ Peace and calm even during challenges
➡️ Joy and gratitude in serving
➡️ Clear boundaries around time and energy
➡️ Emotional steadiness and patience
➡️ Dependence on God’s strength, not self-effort
➡️ Capacity to receive care and encouragement
➡️ Creativity, laughter, and renewed energy
➡️ Balance between work, rest, and play
➡️ Freedom from comparison or pressure
Signs of Work Imbalance:
➡️ Work excites you more than anything else
➡️ You take work to bed, weekends, or vacation
➡️ You work more than 40 hours a week
➡️ Loved ones have given up on you being on time
➡️ You take on extra work “so it gets done right”
➡️ You rush to finish after underestimating time
➡️ Work has hurt your close relationships
Spend a few minutes reflecting on what nourishes you and what depletes you.
Choose one area to focus on.
Add one thing that restores you, and release one thing that drains you.
