Burnout can also be not-so-silent when the grumpiness it causes is taken out those around you. Well-done, Jane!

Burnout is sneaky, isn’t it? It convinces you to keep going until there’s nothing left.

I’ve been there too, chasing goals and ignoring the warning signs until my body just said, ‘No more.’ What helped me was stepping back, reconnecting with nature, movement, and rituals that heal the spirit—like yoga, meditation, and even ancient shamanic medicines like Ayahuasca that opened my eyes to what truly matters.

Your words are such a powerful reminder to slow down before life forces us to stop. Sending love and strength to everyone navigating their way back from burnout. 💕

Also, infinity begins from nothing and also has a space to be filled by thoughts passing by only. Like a nimbus floating in the winds of our limited or something that's passive but not the same as forgotten.

Thanks so much, Alina. It's breaking the cycle for me ans finding balance and reconnecting with nature and humans in real life that is the answer.

It's something that sneaks up on you for sure. No one could tell me at the time though
