Hi Reader,

The world is intense right now. Between the news cycle and social media, and our conditioned drive to just keep doing all the things...it's a lot.

A lot of us have been feeling stretched thin or emotionally heavy, so this week, I want to share a quick "Burnout Prevention Field Guide" that I hope you bookmark or print out so you can come back to it often. These are the same tools I've been leaning into recently.

Step 1: Spot the Signs

Start paying attention to your feelings, habits, and frustrations. For most people right now, burnout is looking like:

• Doom scrolling but feeling numb instead of informed.
• A wonky AF sleep cycle - either too much or not enough.
• Everything feeling like "too much" and "not enough" all at the same time.
• Running on caffeine, adrenaline, and obligation, with the thought, "If I can just get through this next ____."

Step 2: Ground & Regulate

Once you've identified your burnout behavior(s), which, btw can be different than the ones above, you can try one or more of these simple, fast-acting practices to stabilize your energy:

• Breathe before you scroll. Take 3 deep breaths between you and the news (god love Aaron Parnas, but that "We've got breaking news" audio clip is nervous system triggering!). That way you're at least going into your phone with a clearer, more grounded mind.
• Practice a micro-rest. Step outside, put your hand on your heart, whisper, "I'm still here" to the child version of yourself.
• Create a mini Energetic Container™. Light a candle, close your laptop, and give your body permission to stop absorbing.

Step 3: Protect Your Energy

It's easy to set boundaries, but holding them steady can be the hard part. While, yes, you can't pour from an empty cup, you also don't need to live like a sealed jar. This week, experiment with:

• Saying "no" without apology. (Extra points if you use the word as a complete sentence.)
• Muting notifications or conversations that drain you.
• Prioritizing small joys, like your pet, your playlist, or your coffee ritual.

Step 4: Reconnect to What Matters

Bring your attention back to your purpose, love, or collective care. Embrace your signature warmth. Pick up a pen/pencil/paintbrush/some glue/whatever and create something just for the hell of it.

The goal isn't to tune out the world; it's to stay well enough to keep showing up for it. Remember, Reader rest is rebellion. Pleasure is medicine. And regulated energy is sustainable power.

Looking Ahead:

If you're craving more support and structure, my Inner Power Reset program opens again soon. It's designed to help you rebuild from burnout for good.

In the meantime, drink some water, breathe deeply, drink more water you dehydrated goddess, and rest. You're allowed down time.

Sending you peace this week 🫶🏻
