Are you exhausted as I am...?

Ok please don’t do what I’ve done….! 

I have been talking to you all on the socials for what feels like forever about making sure you take the time to rest. Allow your days to flow and surrender and don’t put too much pressure on yourselves to not push too hard as it means you are well in your masculine energy and need to sink back into the feminine. 

Well my friends I have slipped into too much of the masculine. I had all the signs that I was doing too much and that I needed to chill, relax and have some fun.

Did I listen? Short answer! No…

Do I regret it? Yes…! 

I bought some gorgeous Angels in Biz cards from Emily Aarons and I got a card that basically told me to stop, drop and relax otherwise I was going to get sick. Then I would have to stop. 

Again I ignored the signs.

Guess what? I am feeling a bit burnt out.

Part of me thinks it is because of stress and throwing myself into my biz because I am just so excited and I am trying to fit a lifetime worth of work into six months and have what I want finished by the end of the year. 

I think that I could get this done if I did what I know works without burnout. I want to share with you what I would do to get this big body of work out into the world as a reminder for me but also to let you in on my world. 

So here is how I could get what I want to get done:

• Delegate more tasks to my VA
• Exercise and get outside every day
• Eat more fruit and vegetables
• Meditate + do healing on myself every day
• Take breaks
• Have my to do list in front of me and do one hour sprints then have a break
• Take time away from the phone and laptop to recharge my energy
• Make sure I am sleeping well and get my 7-9 hours
• Massages at least once a month
• Do things that I love and that light me up that’s nothing to do with my business
• Working with the energy of the moon phases
• Working my feminine cycles and energy levels

Burnout is real. I learnt from a young age in my early 20’s that too much of a good thing doesn’t always equal a good thing. I overdid it and started to get bad anxiety and my body was exhausted and fatigued. I promised myself that I would look after myself and not let myself get burnt out again. 

This time I am nowhere near as bad as I was in my 20’s but I am recognising the burnout early so that I don’t push it. 

I now have a list of things that I can do to help me thrive.

As much as I love what I do, I also value my health. If I don't have my health I really don't have a business. 

There are so many opportunities for me to chill and do the things I love and I have chosen not to take them. 

The silly part is I know that I will get so much more done if I just CHILL...! 

Ok I am off to do some more work...! Ha ha ha just kidding.

Is it the weekend yet?

This weekend will be spent away from the computer, relaxingly packing boxes, decluttering and a fun date with my man that I am organising. Can't wait..! 

Next plan is to draw on all the tools I have to make sure I am looking after myself.

Love you all!
