When we lack boundaries, we don't actually connect; we perform. We show up out of obligation or fear of disappointing others, leaving our nervous systems frayed and our "Sanctuaries" compromised. Strengthening your relationships starts with a radical commitment to your own capacity.

When you feel disconnected from your physical self, your brain begins to perceive your "to-do list" as a threat. The prefrontal cortex (the part of your brain that plans) gets hijacked by the amygdala (the part that feels fear). Suddenly, answering an email or opening your planner feels like a high-stakes survival event.

If you set expectations at 100% while your capacity is at 30%, you aren't "failing" when you don't meet your goals—you are simply experiencing a predictable biological and energetic burnout.

If you’ve been criticizing yourself for this "slump" - labeling it laziness or failure - it’s time to stop. This feeling is not a personal flaw; it is a biological, natural response to a seasonal shift. It’s your body's communication, and it’s valid.

When a worry pops up, don't argue with it—investigate it. Treat it like a theory that needs to be proven in court. Ask yourself: "What is the actual, concrete evidence that this thought is true?" Most anxious thoughts crumble when faced with facts.

Our minds often trick us into believing we have more control than we do. We replay conversations, trying to find a better way we could have responded. We worry about future outcomes that are completely out of our hands. This constant striving for control over uncontrollable things is a fast track to burnout and mental exhaustion.
