RE: Putting Self-Care on Autopilot

in #story6 months ago

Yes, that's exactly how I felt - even though my family was already telling me to tune it down a bit. I had achieved almost everything I had set as a goal, yet I couldn't stop. My brother, another burn-out-candidate, actually flew down to Ecuador to smack me around a little and get me back on a healthy track. He's better at giving that advice than at taking it though - he went back to Germany and started a second business 🤣

I think the book might help you. For me, it was very introspective. I had to read pages several times in order to understand first the words, then the meaning, and finally apply on my situation and hence feel them. I wish you all the best! Thanks for opening up and sharing!

I also worry about my younger brother sometimes. At 50 he's already been in the corporate world three years longer than I was before I began writing full time and it's starting to show on him. He's always connected to work through his phone. He does everything quickly and has to wear himself out physically before he can relax (kind of typical for a lot of guys, I think).

I'll definitely be adding it to my reading list...I'll probably queue it up as my next read. Thank you for the thoughtful comments!
