burning out

it’s frustrating to fall into this space again, it shouldn’t be the norm. i should be more capable of addressing my needs (at least that’s how i feel). but forcing myself to take a break is still something because i could tell my body was at its limit. i gotta keep reminding myself to not feel guilty about doing ‘nothing’.

this year has felt more rough in terms of overall health, and i’ve felt more mentally drained by work, life, and just the general state of the world. the other day i was cleaning out my space and found old diaries that are almost 10 years old with yearly goals, and it’s rough to see that some of these are still relevant to me now haha.

• build up confidence and be more social
• look after physical and mental health
• be more organised - work life balance
• work on more personal projects

i suppose these are just constant goals for myself that i need to keep striving towards. yes i do need to work on these more, but hey i also can't kick myself down too much about failure.
