spirituality is exhausting and im burnt out
Quote from Frances2003 on January 29, 2019, 2:06 pmI just got home from Target at 8pm after buying organic milk and formula because my baby wouldn't settle. I spent 45 minutes meditating this morning before my 6am workout. My legs are still shaking from the treadmill. I am supposed to be grounded and present but I just feel tired. I bought the expensive crystals at Lulus last month for three dollars each and they are sitting on my nightstand doing nothing for my anxiety. I have a yoga class at 7am tomorrow and I don't want to go. I feel like a failure for being exhausted. My partner says I am trying too hard to be perfect. Am I supposed to feel happy all the time just because I do these things?

Quote from tina2002 on June 7, 2019, 2:47 amI run during my lunch break to clear my head before the second period bell rings. Omg, Lately I just walk briskly instead. The kids are keeping me on my toes all day so by noon i barely have energy to jog. I used to hit 5 mph easily but now 3 feels like a stretch. Just listening to podcasts while moving at a slower pace works just as well for me honestly.

Quote from Honeybee1991 on April 13, 2020, 6:14 pmhonestly yeah. im just hitting the gym hard rn. nothing fixes my spiraling like lifting heavy weights til i cant breathe. then i go home, eat some good food from abuela, and watch trash tv. simple routine. not trying to be spiritual or anything just need to shut my brain off for a bit. its kinda loud in here sometimes.

Quote from laura1979 on October 10, 2020, 6:07 pmbeta honestly its so funny. my husband used to say same thing after 5 years. i just told him stop guessing and start asking. now we have proper schedule for intimacy. he thinks im strict but at least he knows what i want. dont let him call it demanding. call it clear communication. he needs to wake up and listen not just complain.

Quote from Amber2001 on April 3, 2021, 4:03 amhaleya same thing happens to me every night. For real, i wake up at 3am then stare at ceiling for an hour. usually i just check phone until i fall asleep again. its exhausting but honestly my brain wont shut off. coffee helps during day but useless at night. try drinking less water before bed maybe? not sure if it helps but worth a shot. good luck

Quote from Boldleaf1968 on February 2, 2021, 4:25 pmHoney dont try to force it. When im tired i just sit in my rocker for ten minutes and hold my rosary beads. No singing no chanting nothing. Sometimes i light one candle and just breathe. Thats enough. Spirit doesnt need a performance. Rest your legs. Youre doing fine even if u sit still all day. Love ya.

Quote from Silverlinings1980 on December 30, 2021, 7:10 amYeah totally. I used to say yes to everything and ended up burnt out before the season even started. Now I just ghost people who ask favors if theyre not close friends. Saves me so much mental energy. If they get mad they werent worth the hassle anyway. Focus is everything when you have real goals. No guilt allowed.

Quote from Softpetal1967 on May 2, 2021, 8:57 pmHonestly I just stopped apologizing. My husband thinks I’m mad sometimes but I’m not. Just tired. Or bored. It’s okay. We cuddle instead. Or watch TV. I don’t force it. If I want to, it happens. If not, we sleep. My body isn’t a public service. Try that. It works for us. At least the guilt is gone for me.
