Living with chronic illness doesn't define me, but it sure does limit me and if I ignore that fact and pretend it isn't true then I ultimately make myself ill. My burnout was definitely caused by me trying to push past my own limits, refusing to rest when I needed to because it felt lazy, and overthinking/ruminating/beating myself up constantly. I'm still learning what my mind and body needs, and how that differs from other people (and why that is absolutely okay!). We are all unique and all have completely individual sets of circumstances, and to try and keep up with the Jones' is only setting ourselves up for failure/disappointment (comparison is the thief of joy!). Lots of sleep, water, healthy foods, nature, exercise and being mindful about my thoughts and my beliefs is helping so much. I'm not striving for perfection but I am setting quite big goals for myself that aren't achievable if I keep being passive about my own wellbeing. If anyone else here is going through burnout you aren't alone! 🖤 #burnout #recovery #healing #wellness #wellbeing
