Thank you for writing about burnout. So many of us, me especially included experience it frequently and knowing the signs means we can pivot to trying to nurture our bodies. I personally have been trying to understand the aftermath of it in my body through yoga nidra so I can understand and nurture in a targeted way to heal. So often we get over burnout but the body is holding something from it and needs to heal in order for us to be fully free for life’s next challenges.

Thank you for this Paula. Personally burnout has crept up on me , leaving me mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted! I have found the importance of being present means I recognise my own signs and symptoms. And it takes time for this to develop.

Creating a personal resource bank has helped. For example, journalling, or if I feel my body needs to stretch or rest, yoga( accessing your book and practices). Self-compassion, kindness and patience also come to mind. Taking smaller manageable steps, and enjoying those moments has had positive impact on my wellness.
