You’re at or nearing burnout, you crave rest, but are too busy, stressed, ashamed or guilt-ridden to take any.

You’re often not aware of how absent you are from your body or life until you slam your finger in the car door. Or forget your mom’s birthday.

Your body is soooo tired, but your mind is wired, your thoughts spin and spin, and you simply can’t go to sleep at night. Or be fully present with your partner. Or friends. Or your kids.

Or your mind is tired (brain fog) but your body is wired and jumpy, your cells vibrating, your muscles tight, or you’ve developed any form of “otherwise unexplained” chronic pain, chronic fatigue, or autoimmune condition.

You can’t seem to separate the threads of your own needs/wants/desires from those of literally everyone else.

Go go go is what you expect from yourself, but you’re conscious of losing the ability (or desire!) to continue in this way, and it feels like a personal failure.

Something – that same old thing, that roadblock that keeps popping up over and over again, is still – (after all the work you’ve done!)  still in your way, keeping you stuck, and draining your energy.
