Burnout broke me last year. Running a buisness from a relentless hustle (learning everything for the first time, learning how to hold money, making big decisions.. for the first time) left my nervous system in a constant overdrive. This showed up in so many ways, including my physical health taking a drop. So the last few months my ONLY focus has been finding peace again in my body, in my mind, in my day, in my lifestyle. Regulation!!
