believe me... if you are burnt out... TAKE THE TIME TO REST!!!

You won't feel the joy if you are pushing too hard.

This is part of the reason why we take weekends off on DreemPort every weekend... because we know that if we go go go every day?? People will NOT have that same joy - but only obligation.

and sometimes you need MORE rest than just a weekend. Hive can be so much fun - and writing is what writers do - right??? ehehehe

but we STILL need to take a pause, and wait for that balance to come back to us - so that we can be refilled and refueled for the JOY to be the driving energy behind what we do.

we aren't going to leave you! hehehehe so you just take the time to rest and relax your mind a bit - when you have calmed and are READY to write again - THEN you come back and have fun with us! hehehehehehe

sending you love!!!

(and if you don't believe me... go look at my blog... i think i only wrote twice last week! hehehe i've been traveling and instead of pushing hard to keep up with writing - i realized i needed to allow some space to let it happen naturally - you know?? so believe me, believe me, believe me.... hehehehe i know exactly how you feel! LOL)

Nice advice. I need this too haha

hahahahaha yes - we ALL need this advice now and then! hehehee

just remember - the people who appreciate you will NEVER be harsh with you for taking time to rest.

they will ALWAYS be ready for your return with understanding! :)

so when the time comes, just take what you need, when you need it! and let us know when you return so we can welcome you back! LOLOL

Oh, no. I don't believe you, LOL! I honestly do of course. I think I just absorbed too much emotional burden due to a friend's struggle the past week that it made me feel emotionally burnt out, my sleep was even affected just thinking about it. But then the husband took me out on a wee date this morning after the voting so lots of the invisible loads on my shoulder were lifted off me haha!

Oh, no. I don't believe you, LOL!

🤣

The date!!! The husband!!!!

YESSSSSSSS tell him that he just got the Dreemie Award for noticing that his wife needed extra love today hehehehehehe

Hahaha, if only I can share a photo of his priceless smile when he learned he's got a Dreemie Award😅 He says "Salamuch" (thanks a lot)

hahahahahahaha ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now i wish i saw the smile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahaha

Haha, the best smile ever, lol! His eyes lit up even. Thank you :)

We all become burnt out too. I guess I'll become one soon 🤣

If anyone gets burned out, it's a sign they care too much; in a way, that's what we want, rather than being apathetic or not caring anymore. Breaks are necessary if only to let the mind work its way subconsciously through adversity. If we don't take those breaks, then we just shut down; that's just as bad as being burned out.

Thanks.. Of course, we are just humans that need a break 🙂

hahaha yes - when i first started writing on Hive (and before that - on STeemit) oh my gosh - i was joyfully addicted and spent WAY too much time here.

but it was sooooooooooo fun!!!

but as always hahaha sometimes it just becomes too much LOLOL

hard to pull back on things we enjoy - but when the mind and body becomes burnt out.... we MUST pull back or else we destroy all that we enjoy.

hehehehe so.... don't worry - you will know when you need to take a little rest.

hehehehe try to take a bit of rest each week - so you don't crash and burn very hard all at once! LOLOL

Rest ka sis :) For me, it's not physically though, heard a friend's tough struggles and it stayed with me, kinda weighing me down.
