Burnout is NOT a Vibe

Burnout is NOT a vibe.

Yoga teaches us about awareness + connection with our mind + body. And with this awareness, I've recognised this Yang energy has been leading me toward burnout - not a vibe.

Sometimes we think burnout can come from doing things we don't like, but actually burnout can also come from overdoing things we love. 

I love what I do, so it's easy to flow down this path, but as you know, I'm all about balance.

One of my daily mantras is inspired by Maya Angelou's wisdom: "When you know better, you do better."

With grace, I decided to reset + realign.

I'm entering tomorrow with a week off, so naturally, that is a great way to recharge my energy. BUT we can't always take a holiday when experiencing burnout. We need to find a way to manage this energy flow in our daily lives.

So this time last week, I knew that I was entering into another very heavy yang week, but I reflected on where I could slow down + ground myself. I knew I needed to make space for yin energy in the midst of busyness. No one will do this for you! And so, taking action, I tried to have a reset week - incorporating calmness + slowness to feel more grounded + balanced.

I love the clarity, vibrancy, + freshness that slowing down brings. There's no substitute.

I know + trust that having a week off of blissful being energy, I'll feel balanced again. And when I return to daily life, I'll let this vibration flow in - implementing the lessons I've learnt from my current burnout vibe.

Before yoga, I used to live in a constant state of burnout without even realising it. That used to be my daily vibration for YEARS. Now, I'm no longer available for that kind of energy. When I feel it creeping in, I take action.

I've been practicing yoga for seven years, + I apply its teachings daily. We don't practice them just once, just like you wouldn't work out only once in your life. It's an ongoing journey.

While I practice living a yoga-inspired life daily, I also inspire and encourage others through my teachings. And so I hope the words in this email inspire you too.

Take a moment today (or schedule some time) to reflect on the lessons of the year so far - what's flowing + what isn't. 

Get clear on the vibration you want to invite in. 

Then take action.

You have the power to do this. You really do.
