We read that kaitlin book last month in the kardia lumina book club. I got a strong push from it to not be overwhelmed and bummed out by the size of the entire brick wall, and not try (and fail) to resolve the enormity of it completely in one big glorious impossible whack, but instead to consistently tap tap tap away little chunks of it at a time with your own personal little chinky hammers of resistance.
I like what you said as response to Deborah, savoring the small joys. It seems to me to be one of the finer ways to deal with burnout. It can seem insignificant in perspective, yet so incredibly potent.
Yes, burnout is a bummer. It's so hard to stay positive when there's so much negativity going on in the world, so much to protest against, so much that needs fixing. So much to save. And yet there's so much to savor at the same time. It's the savoring that saves me. And yes, connecting with a community of the like-minded to remind us of that. Like your writings and these responses here. Thank you.

Yes! It's so gentle and kind and leaves me feeling more capable.
And there's some grit, some determination, some drive lurking underneath it all.

Yes! I've been working on savouring the smaller, daily joys. Thank you for joining us here!
Prayers and blessings for a time of rest and re-creation. Remember that we are burnt out before we realize it.
Thank you, Steven!
