15. How to interrupt the burnout cycle

5 steps to for you to do the damn thing

The end of the year burnout is real. Winter anxiety and deep heaviness are real. Capitalism’s push to hit the ground running in January and maintain the pace and intensity is real. Spring’s sunshine and warmer temperatures often help lift the veil of winter, help us to feel lighter and soften the severity of capitalism’s push. Then, we have fun in the summer, but inevitably, we end up heading into Fall feeling under-resourced. That leads to fully running on fumes by the end of November and beginning of December.

And despite your best efforts to get off the runaway train, the cycle continues. 

It’s time to finally interrupt the burnout cycle. 

In this episode, the shit we need to talk about is how you’re going to do it:

  1. Disrupt your life pattern AND the way the systems are impacting your self-care. 

  2. Slowly and intentionally implement daily sustainable practices that align with your needs.

  3. Shift the way you interact with life: Keep self-care simple and flexible based on your capacity, bandwidth, and the chaos around you. 

  4. Learn how the season’s energy impacts you and adjust or lean in accordingly. AND allow your life cycle to ebb and flow the way nature does so that you can remain resourced throughout the year. 

  5. Actively create space for yourself for inquiry and resource yourself by meeting yourself where you are. Confront old beliefs and truths that are no longer true, disrupt the patterns attached to them, and intentionally shed the habits that aren’t serving you. And this includes re-evaluating and reimagining your relationship with rest, slowing down, and pausing as well as developing a variety of rest practices - that change with the season and your capacity.
