Like you, I am human, and I, too, live under the same systems that keep us constantly plugged in, doing, and moving. If you are anything like me and have a heart that cares too much, you understand the burnout that comes when the world seems constantly on fire and the future is uncertain. You understand that constant output only leads to exhaustion and that not protecting your energy leads to misalignment.
There was a constant stream of uncertainty running through my bones. The food tasted different, the flowers smelled less flowery, the joy felt forced, and everyday life just became a hampster wheel, one that I could not get off of.
With everything happening, witnessing a genocide, people turning their backs to injustice, people acting like those of us who see the truth are the problematic ones - losing friends, partnerships, and losing my sense of safety.
What I thought was the spiral to doom was the collapse of a life that was not sustainable, nourishing, or healing enough. I was doing too much, giving too much, sharing too much, talking too much, showing up too much, working too much, worrying too much, creating too much, forcing too much, and wanting too much.
And in my biggest effort to save myself from losing my shit, I pulled out all of my tools. There is no shame in admitting I have lost my way there for a moment, strayed off my path because I extended myself out too much. Lost hope and allowed fear to take the wheel. There is no weakness in admitting that I lost myself in the noise of it all. I am human, just like you.
Although things are still challenging to navigate, I have been able to crawl out of the void I fell into.
Here are some simple rituals that saved me from losing my shit, recovered from burnout, brought magic back into my daily life, and brought me closer to my community.
