You wake up tired. You go to bed tired. And somehow, between those two points, you’re still holding it all together — work, kids, home, expectations — even though your body keeps whispering, “I can’t do this anymore.”

If you’ve been pushing through the fog and telling yourself you’ll rest “after this week,” this one’s for you. Burnout isn’t just about doing too much; it’s about carrying too much alone. And when you’re in survival mode, rest can feel impossible — or even unsafe.

In today's journal session, you’ll get space to pause and reconnect with yourself — not to fix the burnout overnight, but to finally name what’s really draining you and what you actually need. These prompts are designed to help you see the emotional patterns underneath the exhaustion, not just the packed calendar.

Journal Prompts:

• What specific moments this week made you feel the most depleted?
• If your burnout disappeared tomorrow, what would need to change — and what feelings might surface if it did?
• What would shift if you only gave 70% instead of 110% for the next three days?

Press play, grab your journal, and give yourself 10 minutes to breathe again.
