Hello there,

上周五，我醒来哭了。沉重的浓雾充满了我的大脑；我的身体被一袋50磅的土豆压倒了。我没有生病。我没有受伤。我曾是burnt out。Every task I needed to do in life, the things that usually give me such joy and purpose, felt like needy, petulant obligations. I felt isolated + self-conscious + scared to reach out. I felt smothered in the heavy, oppressive muck of burnout.

This is the story of how I am transforming that muck, and how you can transform your muck, too.

照明：烧毁，第一部分

即使是现在，我也能感觉到这种经历中仍然在我体内响起的警告钟：我感到脆弱 +离焦虑的湿边缘不远。我感到如此绝望和孤独，对我来说，将双手放回脆弱性和断开连接的泥泞中是很难的。我当时在泥泞的厚厚中，没有轻松的梯子。

I am still, actively, working through the muck.I am transforming it.

烧毁的愈合过程很像将旧蔬菜堆肥到肥沃的土壤中的过程。
堆肥将死亡，腐烂，未使用的生物残留物转变成充满活力，繁荣和美丽的花朵（或西红柿或柠檬树）。从我的烧伤中康复正在将我的断开连接的残余变成联系。这就是：

In these tender days post-burn out,我已经伸出手。我的联系远远超出了平常。我分享了我的经验。令人惊讶的是，人们也开始与我分享脆弱的倦怠经历。我不再感到孤单，令人惊讶的是，我最初的脱节感正在堆肥 +转变为更多的联系。

I can now say, “thank you, burnout. I’m going to try really hard to not see you often in life, but I’m grateful for the lessons you’ve taught me this week.”它教会了我有关联系的重要性的教训。你的课是什么？

尽管我确定您的生活中遇到了烧毁，但您要立即进行改造的“泥泞”不必被烧毁。也许您的粪便是与家人的艰难对话，损失或令人担忧的问题。您现在生活中的哪种情况可以使用一些康复，观点转移的影响？

康复是关于将腐烂转变为生长。关于情感创伤 +其随后的康复的研究丰富了意义上的创造，，，，感激and评书。似乎有一个技巧将困难的体验转变为变革性的经历：

从泥土中含义。就是这样：

1。Put your feet in the muck:
My experience on Friday was ripe with one word: Disconnected.
您会选择什么词来供体验？

Naming our emotions帮助我们在情感 +认知之间建立桥梁。即使很难，我还是邀请您真正地融入您的经历所带来的感受。您的感觉在这里是有原因的 - 不要急于远离它。

2.命名目的地
我的目的地是断开连接的相反：连接。
什么is the opposite of the word you just chose?

This steps creates a vision. If I WERE able to climb out of the muck, even if it feels impossible, where would I want to go?

3. Imagine a bridge.
看着我的两个词，我知道当我孤立自己时会发生什么。对我来说，这座桥正在与他人接触。
您认为您的经历试图教您什么课？换句话说，有一天，你为什么要对渣土说“谢谢”？

4.建造桥梁。
什么大动作你能接受吗to get closer to your second word?
什么小动作你能接受吗todayto help you on your path to your big action?

您可能会发现对写下your two words, your lesson, and your action steps. You can use them as motivation during your transformation.

什么emotionswere brought up for you when you considered your first word? Often, when we feel uncomfortable, we want to fix it so quickly. Taking the time to really understand the uncomfortable emotion gives us the acceptance + data we need to move forward.

什么情绪会有所帮助燃料you over the bridge? What do you need to cultivate?

事后看来，我本可以看到这种疲倦的到来：我对社交媒体的依赖不断增加多巴胺命中，，，，the tiredness, the needing everything to be rigidly perfect. The warning signs presented themselves clearly.
