When you don't allow yourself to rest, what you're actually doing is you're creating tension with yourself. And it's all fine and good, but there's going to come a point where it's the most risiest time of the year. The holidays are here. Have a cup of cheer. And under your Christmas tree, you're probably going to have socks and underwear, because that's seemingly since I've turned 21. That is the only thing that's under my Christmas tree, which is awesome, because I do need those from time to time. But the holidays are here, and I feel as if during the holidays there are a few things that we focus on. One of them is we spend time with the ones we love. Second one is we celebrate.

We enjoy the holidays for what they're worth, and we enjoy the fact that the year is over, basically. And three, we get to chill. We get to relax. Which in today's world where you have notifications 24-7 on teams and on your, on your, your school assignments, you know, all day, you're just getting, no, no. You need rest. You need to rest.

Life is a marathon, not a sprint. It's okay to feel drained. It's okay to feel tired. If you're in school, every single day has been lock in city. You just got off a finals like you were doing everything to be goaded. you can chill out. You can lay in bed for a day and watch TV and nothing bad will happen. It's fine.

I myself am planning to D1 chill. I am going to watch TV show after TV show after movie after movie after movie because I want to relax. Because you know what? I'm going to admit it I worked pretty damn hard. I worked hard. I put in the hours. I put in the effort. I stayed hungry. We devour.

No Dwayne in the Rock Johnson. Shout out the Rock. But I want to chill. And I need to rest. I need to rest. When you don't allow yourself to rest, what you're actually doing is you're creating tension with yourself. And it's all fine and good.

But there's going to come a point where this happens. And suddenly the two plates overlap. And just like the earth, there's an earthquake. And the earthquake will then cause a tsunami of burnout. And it's going to flood your mind. It's going to flood your body.

You are going to be tired. Like very tired. And you won't be able to do the things that you like because you are burnt out and you need to rest. Your body is screaming for you. Hey, you've overworked me. I need chill. And listen, everyone's chill meters are different.

Some people, they need minimal amount of chill. They can do stuff every single day And they don't need to rest Their mind is just always on it But other people They need to relax Like every day They need an hour or two

Where they can just chill Watch a TV show Scroll some brain rot I don't judge Skibbitty toilet is fire It's incredible But they just need to relax And you got to kind of find

Your level of the On the meter You got to find Okay do I need a a lot of chill or do I need a little bit of chill or do I need somewhere in between and then you got to determine what does your chill look like what does you actually resting look like is it laying in bed because I know for me I can lay in bed for like a day but the next day I'm like we got to go I don't feel comfortable just chilling in my bed all day I don't like it my form of relaxation

is I love to journal I love writing I love scrapbooking when I do that I can just shut off my brain and I can write for hours and it's chill. Another thing is doing something crafty, building something, building a model, playing around with some cardboard and figuring out how to build a, you know, I don't know, the Berger's Caliphah out of it. Who cares? You got to find something that makes you feel relaxed. Burnout is very real.

It's so real. It's so draining. It gets to a point where, you feel like you're doing the motions, but you're not getting any kind of dopamine or any kind of satisfaction from the things that you're doing. And it kills any motivation to keep going. And usually it's because we overexert ourselves and we don't give ourselves that time to just chill out, to just relax. And it's because we have a lot of pressure on us. We do, especially now. The pressure to all the time be doing something and be interesting. You have to post stories that you're at the Christmas market.

Like, no, you don't. You really don't have to do that. Maybe your Christmas is just sitting on the couch with your family, and that's a great Christmas. That is a great way to spend Christmas. Maybe your Christmas is making gingerbread cookies with the bros. It's also a great thing to do over Christmas. But don't feel like your Christmas is mid, because you're going to be. You're you're not being productive. Like, no, you earned it. You need to rest. But what if I didn't earn it? Ask yourself, are you tired? Yeah, I am tired. Then you need to rest. Then you need to rest. And that's a conversation you honestly have to have with yourself, because we know when we've been chilling a little too hard. When you've told yourself, no, I've been good. I've been working. And you have

not. So be honest. Do you feel tired? Yeah? You need rest. Simple as that. You need rest. Do you feel tired? No. Then you don't need rest. Then cool. Go out and do something. It's the internal dialogue you have to have with yourself. You got to understand where you stand. You get me? You got to understand where you stand. Are you standing on burnout territory? Because that's dangerous territory. Or are you chilling? Are you D1 chilling? Check in with yourself. Welcome aboard via rail. Please sit and enjoy. Please sit and stretch. Steep. Sleep.
