Break the Burnout Cycle

Chronic burnout and exhaustion are standard and accepted states of being. It is considered normal. It is not. It is not a happy or sustainable way to move through our days and weeks. When I found myself in this place, I realized that my creative process was misaligned from who I actually was. In refining my creative process I now include two essential elements that help break the burnout cycle. They sound ‘woo-woo’, so, listen on for these two elements can practical support the creative process. They also: * bring me back to neutrality when I have emotional ups and downs (doubt, judgement, comparison, insecurity, arrogance etc.) * give me juicy nuances that I can reflect on, and adjusting or pivot as needed (so that I create from neutrality, not emotionality or attachments) * allow me to communicate with confidence, when I’m ready to (without getting defensive) * help me flow with creative energy, rather than force it (“I need it to happen NOW!!!” To me, this is less about achieving mind-created (often, societally-informed) goals, and more about encouraging us to find our way back to the spark that made us start in the first place, and sustain it for as long as required.
