so-soChecking off the list I found of books to make you the most interesting person in the room… I‘ll give this a “meh”. I recall thinking some good points made, but none memorable enough to recall at the moment. It was hard to follow what key was being talked about throughout a section, and another would be mentioned, but I wasn‘t sure what was being referred to in the discussion. Meh.
pickSo good! Recommended by my therapist and it did not disappoint.

Ok I‘m wary of sharing this because I don‘t really know what I‘m doing yet lol, but did a tarot reading this morning and drew the 10 of wands. This is what I got out of it.
Overburdened, burnt
out — take a step back, ask for
help when you need it.
It‘s so easy to get caught in the trap of thinking we don‘t need to ask for help and can do everything on our own. 🩵

For me it‘s mostly being kind to myself & understanding the tremendous anxiety I get when I feel like I‘m not in or I‘m losing control. It‘s being kind both in my self-talk, as well as trying to eat right, drink enough water & get rest. I‘m not always successful at keeping everything positive but I try.
A friend recommended the tagged book on managing anxiety. It‘s free on Kindle Unlimited. I‘ll let you know what I think.
so-soOkay, I'm most definitely projecting but, the part where the lesson of the book seems to be that you don't have to be perfect and giving all the time, you should take time for yourself, great, and okay, yes, you can't take on the responsibility of changing other people or cleaning up all their chaos, but...not a single hint of a recognition of the need for a change from the rest of Egg's roommates? 1/?
pickI normally don't read self help books.
I find a lot of times that they can either be preachy or full of things I already know and not useful to me but this one was interesting to me.
I have a base idea of burnout and what that looks like for me but this book gave me some research and science that helped me know why I was feeling how I am and the wording and tools to help me understand how it happens.
