Been away awhile, mentally I mean,
perhaps physically as well now I come to think of it…..my body was giving off multiple
signs I was heading for another burn-out. As is so often the case folks say: ‘once
you’ve experienced a burn-out you are more susceptible to short-circuiting
again.’ I accepted this truism as a fact, thinking I would have to try and avoid
situations that bring on stress in my life. But lately, it just seemed more and
more situations were pressing my stress-buttons, sometimes all at once!‘Is what people say true? Does one
burn-out lead more easily to another? And if so, why?’ I asked myself. ‘Also,
how on earth am I going to be able to avoid stressful situations?’The answer is simple: I won’t.I will not be able to avoid
them, shit happens to a larger or lesser degree, all the time, to everybody,
everywhere. And that, dear reader, turned out to be my light-bulb moment, because
I realised it doesn’t have to be this way, I don’t have to walk the same route
as I have do…
