The Tug-of-War between the Extremes
5:37:28 2024-09-11 1015

For me, the struggle between boredom and burnout is an outgoing tug-of-war as I oscillate between periods of brief inactivity and overwork/stimulation. As said, the energy of boredom can lead to craving so much stimulation that which leads to burnout. Needed rest can then lead to boredom, and the cycle continues! This pattern can create a sense of instability, where I can, if I'm not careful and conscious, never feel truly at peace or satisfied (despite how amazing my life on paper is). The cycle often begins with consecutive long days leading to burnout. When I reach that breaking point, I usually retreat into a state of rest or inactivity for recovery. However, as my boredom sets in what is the time when I rest longer than one to three hours, I then feel compelled to take on new challenges or responsibilities, leading to a resurgence of activity and, eventually, another bout of burnout.

This cycle for me has been deceptively difficult to break. Boredom leads to a sense of aimlessness and dissatisfaction; burnout can cause emotional and physical exhaustion. Finding a balance between these two extremes requires self-awareness, self-compassion, and a willingness to make changes in my life. Ironically, I don't think I'm ready to make a drastic change yet.
