I hate to be the one to tell you this, but recovery time for burnout is 1-3 years.
You cannot rest yourself out of years of nervous system damage overnight. Not with a few good nights of sleep, and definitely not with a bubble bath.
I know this deeply because I’ve lived it.
I know what it’s like to have your body completely shut down and sleep for 5 days straight from overexerting your energy. I know the grueling survival mode of navigating intense career changes, grieving relationships, facing eviction, and grinding through 2 to 3 jobs just to stay afloat.
When I entered my 30s, I started on my road to recovery from a burnout program I never intended to sign up for.
I faced many turbulent moments along my way, and one of the most important things that happened was learning to recognize my own patterns. I realized quickly the direction I was going wasnt sustainable and that it was time to consciously make shifts.
Therapies like Shiatsu, acupuncture, and many other mindful practices are what allowed me to break these cycles. They were the physical tools that helped me get back grounded into my center when everything around me felt unstable.
My 30s became my shift. My metamorphosis.
I commited to layers of deep bodywork that took me out of a world where I was just trying to survive and brought me into a place of being held. It gave me the space to take the steps needed to heal, build meaningful relationships, and most important of all I found love in myself first.
There is a fine line between balance and burnout and I try my best to recognize when I fall back into these old ways.
Every day, I remind myself to pause, and to take my time through this long, short life that we get to live.
This is exactly why I do the work I do today.
Shiatsu and acupressure give your nervous system a physical, safe space to finally drop the armor, shift out of fight-or-flight, and take a genuine exhale.
You don’t have to wait until your body completely shuts down to start recognizing the patterns. Let’s support your nervous system together.🌱
