“Sure, my life is great. I have a great relationship. I love what I do for work. But it’s exhausting, and I’m worried I’ve lost my mojo.” — Scott Stockdale

First of all, I want to say thank you. I know my last post was a downer and probably the last thing you wanted to hear before the holidays, but I’m glad I shared it. Many of you told me how you’ve dealt with burnout in the past, and reflecting on your answers warmed my heart.

It’s also reassuring to know that I’m not alone in these feelings.

Many of us are quietly suffering.

So today, I want to share snippets of the strategies that came my way. You may find them helpful if you’re also struggling. And even if you’re feeling strong heading into 2024, I think you’ll find these messages helpful.

Many of them are wonderfully poetic.
