Are you burning yourself out for the good cause?
You are passionate…
You want to contribute to a better world…
You are doing really important work!
BUT … you work around the clock …
You are tired … exhausted really – when you think about it! …
But you push through, because this is not about you. This is about bigger things… More important then you …
Okay … Take a DEEP BREATH .. and let’s work on reframing this!
Close your eyes and imagine what is going to happen to you if you continue on this trajectory …
Can you see yourself burning out? Feeling demoralised? Getting ill? Depressed?
Can you see how much good you will be contributing at this point?
…. Not a lot right?
There is a reason they say you can’t pour from an empty cup!
Now let’s put that image of the future aside and imagine a completely different scenario:
What would happen if you took really good care of yourself?
Try to feel into it for a moment … what would it feel like?
You would feel GOOD and have way more ENERGY and GOOD SPIRITS to work on your cause!
GREAT! Now let’s make that shift:
You ARE important!
Self Care is essential to make your efforts sustainable, for you AND for your good cause! 💚
