Burn out and a spring reset

I am burnt out. This means feeling tired, fatigued, low mood, exhausted, ruminating, worrying, unfocused, unmotivated. My last year of university has been difficult and trying to progress in my work has added to the pressure. On top of that, I’ve been overthinking about my age and what it means for me. 28 is a big deal and it comes with a lot of societal expectations and pressures. Things I want to ignore but can’t seem to find a way to do so.

So yeah, it’s been a lot. But luckily, working in a school in England means I get two weeks off for Easter break and I’m taking this time for a “spring reset”. Spring clean my mind as well as my environment. Start anew and get back on track. Back to myself…

Here is how I’m having a spring reset:

Spring cleaning / deep cleaning my home: dust the corners, scrub the surfaces, get rid of the excessDeclutter my clothesBooked a counselling appointment Getting my hair done MassageSpa Time with loved onesYoga every day habit restored Catching up on important tasks (university reading) so I’m not panicking by being behind Get back to prioritising cleaner foods Eyebrows done Organise myself: calendar, diary, bullet journal to know what’s happening and when so I can stay on top of things Birthday celebrations Journal every day to empty the mind Do something funDay tripDance and sing Finish a book Get back to my running (or at least high heat rate cardio in my week)Revisiting and restructuring my finances so my goals can be attainable Evaluating my goals and intentions for the year / revisiting my values and belief systems

Sincerely,

S. xx
