Burning Out

Burning Out

Burnouts are rarely explosive. They are, at least in my experience, a slow death: a numbing of the soul, a loss of emotional capacity, an unyielding tolerance for pain. Sometimes it’s so slow that you don’t even realise you are on fire until you begin melting.

And like getting into it, recovering from burnout is rarely a quick fix, but requires gentle, patient work.

  1. Take your time Eric. Looking forward to your revitalised posts!
    I have recently almost finished Colourless Tazaki Tsukuru and his years of Pilgrimage and really enjoy it. Have you read it?

    1. Hey Aaron, thanks for the recommendation – will check it out! Sorry for the late response. Hope all is well 🙂
