Sometimes we find ourselves on a path that feels un-ending and treacherous. We tell ourselves it won't be for much longer, or that we need to keep going 'a little further' and everything will be ok.
Sometimes you reach a point where you feel like you just can’t face the world, whilst at the same time knowing that you have to.
We are getting too close to, or maybe even beyond, our healthy limits. We feel overwhelmed, overloaded and exhausted and the rest we do get doesn’t seem enough to renew us.
But what is being missed is that we are learning to ignore the signs, symptoms and knowing that we are pushing ourselves too far physically, mentally and emotionally.
The thing is, when we burnout, it doesn't just impact on our health, it also takes it's toll on our performance. The mind will feel cloudy, we are overly-sensitive to things that go wrong and the things you ought to feel happy about, or find some enjoyment in, just don’t seem to hit the mark.
If your mind doesn’t feel like it’s working quite right,
especially if you are self-soothing in some way, you need a fresh approach.
You may not have to quit your job, move to the country and get chickens and a allotment. But you will need to change the way you are bringing yourself to your life and your career.
Seeing afresh, or a shift in consciousness will present new options, new ways of being and new ways to perform will less thinking and more peace of mind.
