Exhaustion
HeatherI’m exhausted but not that lack of 8 hrs of sleep exhausted.
I’m exhausted from putting peoples needs first.
I’m exhausted from checking in with people that don’t check in with me.
I’m exhausted from putting in the work and everyone else just goes on with life.
I’m exhausted from feeling their emotions and suppressing my own.
I’m exhausted and it’s not from the lack of sleep exhausted.
I want to feel alive.
I want to feel refreshed.
I want to feel my own emotions.
Care for my own needs.
I want to escape the burnt stage of life and capture the awareness of the day.
I’m exhausted from being exhausted!
When will I breathe again?
That is the question!
Are you familiar with Marianne Williamson s “out deepest fear”? Or Ernest Henley’s “Invictus” ?
I find them comforting when I too, experience feeling burned out from how agreeable of a person I can be at the cost of my own needs. Hope it resonates with you. 💚

Aww Heather, my hope for you is that you focus on only leaning into people and places that make you feel alive instead of exhausted. Sending lots and lots of hugs. <3 Lauren
