I'm so grateful for my burnout

​

​

Hello love,

I'm grateful for my burnout.

I know it's a crazy thing to say, considering what a dark and difficult period it was for me.

It was a season of my life in which I felt completely alone and inapt. As if what was required of me - living, taking care of my baby, homeschooling my older kid, making good money in my business - was just too much.

And in many ways it was.

Because I had never learned to take care of me first.

I knew how to power through.

I knew how to discard my needs to meet deadlines and lift mountains - mine and my clients'. I knew how to postpone taking care of my well-being until "one day when things get better".

The biggest lesson my burnout taught me is that you can't wait until one day till things get better.

You need every day to be sustainable and nourishing.

And that means 3 things:

🌸 1. You need to feel that your tasks every day are within your capacity. Not always comfortable and easy, but within your capacity. Because "outside the comfort zone" is a place where you take a stroll from time to time, not something designed to be your permanent address.

🌸 2. You need to consider your needs - physical, emotional, energetic - as vital information that need to be heard and honoured. Because ultimately, nobody else than you is the guardian of your well-being.

🌸 3. You need to start deeply believing that you matter more than your business.

May my hard-earned lessons inspire you to better care for yourself in this new season.
