I’m doing all the right things—or at least I think I am. Waking up on time consistently, trying to get a good night’s sleep (sometimes I do, sometimes my brain doesn’t shut off), adulting, running errands, and doing all my chores. Working my 9-5 and working out. Making time to socialize and time for myself. Trying to get 10k steps in every day and soak up some sunlight so seasonal depression doesn’t hit me as hard. Investing in my appearance because, you know, when you look good, you feel good.

And yet, I still feel burnt out. I’m not sure why. I make time for myself to have some lazy moments, but it doesn’t seem to be enough. I feel like I’m someone who likes to create and be productive. I haven’t even been blogging as much as I’d like because I feel like I’m running non-stop.

How do people recover from burnout, and how long does it take? I’ve had enough—and we’re not even halfway through October. The year just went by so fast. I guess I may need to get back into meditation. I want to be more mindful and present and practice gratitude for what I do have now.
