Burnout is often misunderstood. It’s not simply about doing too much — it’s about carrying a psychological load that quietly drains your energy.
You could have a packed schedule and feel alive, or have only a few tasks and feel completely exhausted. What matters isn’t the workload, but whether the work is aligned with your authentic interests and values.
When you’re operating from fear, obligation, or a need for approval, each task becomes an invisible weight, leaking your energy little by little.
Recovering from burnout requires more than just reducing tasks. It demands an honest look at where your energy is leaking — and a commitment to realignment with what genuinely fuels your spirit.
