The Burnout Queens Wisdom: Reach beyond Ordinary
Burnout
The experience of living with burnout and exhaustion for professional, creative and highly sensitive women
Women, Bodies & Baggage
Women’s bodies come with a full set of baggage. We worry about how fat or thin, tight or saggy, tall or short, young or old, beautiful or ugly we are.
It all comes down to our bodies and the relationship we have with it. Whether it’s loving or spiteful we are stuck with it. It is something we are born with and changes with or without our permission over a lifetime. It changes, it grows, it develops, it moves, it gets strong, it gets weak and all manner of things in-between.
So how do you treat this ‘thing’ that holds you up and moves you through the world. Perhaps because of that very fact alone we should learn to like it more.
Here are 8 ways you can take good care of that ‘thing’ you already love, are getting to love or have hated for years.
- Like her more by not comparing her to another woman
- Feed and water her regularly
- Put lotion on her and let her glow
- Massage her to help her move with ease
- Take her for a walk, bike ride, swim
- Sit her down
- Let her sleep
- Limit the stress and strain you put her under
Showing respect for your body will help you respect your Self and THAT darling, results in you becoming the radiant Queen of Calm, Cool & Collected you were truly meant to be.

An HSP opinion of being gracious
If someone shares their dream, vision, or idea with you and you see they are clearly excited …
What do you do? How do you respond? What do you say?
When I share my enthusiasm about starting a new venture, challenging myself personally, or uprooting my life, I am generally met with great curiosity, support and love from those around me (except my mother of course, but darlings, that’s a whole other story).
I’ve also met those who are shocked that I will do what I say I want to do “Oh, you mean you’re actually going to Do this (incredulous tone required!) and then
I’ve met those who feel the deep need to be negative, warn you and wonder what’s gotten into you lately? (omg, I know someone who hated what you’re about to do). Why must they warn me or save me from my own choices I wonder? Can’t they just be happy for me?
So I have to ask, what is the cost of being gracious, even if their choice isn’t yours?
Here’s my best advice the next time someone shares their hopes and dreams with you…
Think before you share and offer
Grace if you must speak.
In love and support
