I recently wrote about “existential burnout” which isn’t just “I’m tired from over-working” — it’s something much bigger and deeper, affecting a huge proportion of society because so many factors just simply aren’t working. We are going through massive change post-pandemic, and many people aren’t able to work and “produce” in the same way.
Neighborhood streets so safe kids can play in them.
“Later that same week, I chatted about this in a coaching session with Kristine Claghorn. I asked her, “Now that I am wiser and I know what happens when I burn out, how do I find joy in my work again?” And she asked me a question that changed my perspective instantly: “What would happen if you took the pressure off? What would work feel like then?”
... See moreI knew I would need a lot of help to continue listening to my own inner compass and not go off track again, and so my home is full of guideposts for myself.
