Flower Bouquet from Neighbour ๐Ÿ’

This summer is pretty busy compared to last year. My work schedule is not super tight yet, but I have to be careful not to burn out. Do I notice when the signs of burnout are reaching me? Yes, I strongly feel them, but usually I try to ignore the signs. Then, I completely burn out. Usually, it takes quite a long time to recover. However, I don't want to ignore the signs, especially this year, due to my important schedule.

How can I try not to ignore the signs of burnout?

I usually go to bed extra early when I need to wake up early the next day. Even if I canโ€™t fall asleep easily, itโ€™s important to simply rest in bed without thinking too much. Lying down and doing nothing, reading, listening to music, singing, or even checking my phone all help me relax.

Secondly, I try to take a hot bath, even in summer. Relaxing my nervous system helps me manage stress. Spending time in nature is also essential. Thirdly, I never skip my dog walks twice a day. Itโ€™s okay if the walks are short when Iโ€™m busy. What matters is changing my mood.

This morning, while walking my dog with my husband before work, our neighbour greeted us with a cheerful โ€œGood morning!โ€ She then told us she had prepared a mini bouquet for us. She had left it on the side of the street on the green grass. The gesture immediately lifted our mood. What a kind person. She gave us a bouquet from her flower garden last year as well.

What else do I do to avoid burning out? Maybe drawing. Being able to draw and express my vision freely also helps ease my stress.

This summer has been very dry. As you can see from this photo, the air is still dry and carries the smell of smoke from the mountain fire. Yet, even in this difficult season, the scenery somehow gives me a sense of calm.

In the end, I realize that avoiding burnout is not about doing something grand. Itโ€™s about small acts of care. Resting, walking, drawing, and receiving kindness, like a simple flower bouquet from a neighbour, all remind me that balance is possible.
