Love this Rashawnda!!! I agree with all of this and all of the tips you share here. I was SO burned out when I left my career as a restaurant chef. It took me years to recover, but in that time, I was really able to reevaluate my life and what I was doing and it led me to starting a purpose-driven aligned business I love that I'm super conscious about building in a way that is sustainable and prioritizes my life style. I'm now making more money and having more freedom than ever and I'm so grateful to have gone through that because it led to this! It was the rattle of the cage that really changed my life!
thank you, Rashawnda, for talking about burnout and recovery. the things you discuss are helpful and serves as gentle reminders. i'm going through autistic burnout and recovery is definitely not overnight but, some of the things i find aid in recovery are meditation, yoga, getting adequate sleep or rest, and meeting sensory needs.
For me, my mother doesn't know what balance means. She is either on 150% of the time or completely off. Realizing she beat that attitude into me and that, despite being a productive and effective worker, I often take on 200% workloads to make myself feel "accomplished." I know this is also rooted in growing up as a fat kid, you get productivity and hard work held over your head a lot more lest you become "lazy" for resting. I'm still learning to rest, I'm still learning to hug myself when my mind's conditioning wants to yell, but I'm learning. It's hard to unpack years of intensity and survival-mode, but I appreciate you pointing out the sources of life and joy get neglected when all we praise is "the grind."
I use to think that rest was bad, I mean, when I found me resting inmediatly strated to felt guilt, then I realiced that rest is not just good, it is necesary for a good mental health so I´m still working on it but I learned to give me and enjoy this little moments of peace that I give myself
