Do you feel burned out? If so, you're not alone. This burnout visualization practice can help you identify the stressors that may be contributing to your burnout and also the sources of nourishment that already exist for you. During the meditation, you'll visualize and contrast a relaxed, obligation-free day with a busy workday. By observing bodily sensations and emotional responses without judgment, you can identify specific stressors and gain some insight on how you might shift your perspective about them or even change them so they don't deplete you as much. This episode follows last episode's discussion on burnout and depression. Listen to that episode before or after this one if you missed it.
