#straightfromcait: 3 Expert Tips To Restore Your Health After Burnout

Hi Fried Fans!

On the last #straightfromcait episode, I shared 5 words with you that come up often as guides on my clients’ burnout recovery journeys. Those words were: safety, owning your genius, embodiment, community, and truth.

When it came time to make the infographic for the episode (if you’re not following me on LinkedIn or Instagram, now's the time to get on board! :)), I added one more word - RESTORE.

And when I asked you which of these words resonated most, RESTORE was the winner by a country mile. Some of the comments you left taught me that you still aren’t sure how to turn this word into an actionable step that you can take in your life, so I decided to break it down for you.

First, we have to think about what this word means when it comes to being a human. I mean, we could talk about restoring furniture, but I’m not sure if the metaphor would work. The word restore has a simple definition: to bring something or someone back to a former condition but when we’re talking about health, is that really what we mean?

Here’s what I think resonated with you in the word restore (and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong!)

The word restore means to be brought to a state of overall well being. It might be a state that is even better than a state you have ever experienced. It means creating space for healing. It means slowing down, having a respite from day to day events and stressors, and allowing your body to use it’s natural powers of rejuvenation without interrupting her before she’s done.

It means sleeping deeply, eating well, and resting without feeling guilty.

But that all sounds like a tall order, so how can you start to give your body more time to restore itself today within the schedule that you currently have?

Luckily, I have a few ideas ;)

You'll find 3 tips in this episode and 2 of them take under 60 seconds.

Let me know which is your favorite!
