![]() ![]() I’ve also made my reading time as sacred as possible. While recovering from burnout, I’ve been choosing books that let me retreat into worlds that intrigue me, reduce my stress levels, and show me windows of opportunity in my own life. I knew they had some wisdom to share with me now. Books have helped me through anxiety, trauma, accepting myself as a woman with autism, and so much more. Unexpectedly if you follow this blog, books have been a big part of my recovery from burnout – and a way to prevent it from returning. I made a lot of positive changes back then, including a conscious effort to cultivate environments that support me and allow me to just be me, as a woman with autism spectrum disorder. I had a bad burnout back in 2018, just before leaving my full-time job to never go back (you can read about this in my book, Mountain Song). And with Covid in the mix too, it’s been a recipe for sheer exhaustion. In the last decade, the world has only become more stressful with the rise of social media and the amplification of our “always-on” culture. It feels like we’re in an era of burnout.
