"The truth is these things I say to myself are born out of shame. I recognise this shame in my day-to-day life over the last thirty years. I am no stranger to its acidic nature."
I've just watched your video, Charlie - how amazing 😍 I'm so inspired!
I'm also completely burnt out after our caravan trip to France - and am currently in my safe space (ooh it's lovely) with calm music, a cuppa and weighted blanket. I'm feeling no shame - we know how to recover now, plus we have the memories we made whilst being away in nature!! Maybe there are lots of us in our little hiding places, recovering until we are restored and ready to get out in nature for more!! We've got this!! X Lots of love and admiration, Tash xxx
Thank you so much Natasha! I really enjoyed making and editing that video so I'm so happy to hear it spread a little inspo! Writing back to you from my cosy little space under my duvet with candle burning and hot tea 😊🫂❤️
You don't know how much I needed to read this. I'm also doing things again that I know will exhaust me. I plan so well to be prepared to do those scary things, but I still struggle to deal with the aftermath. I sint I even noticed it was that internalized shame about needing rest.
Gorgeous shots!! I’d like to give a different perspective. Pre-burnout, I could do things like go to social events multiple times per week/month. I felt anxious generally, but pushed through. Now, in burnout, some days I struggle to reply to texts and last weekend I didn’t go to a baby shower for a friend. Was I succeeding before and am I failing now? I don’t think so. Pre-burnout, I was ignoring the signals my body gave me; now, I am prioritizing them. Not everyone will understand my new lifestyle, but I can already see that it is the best for me and hope I am setting a good example for my kids.
