We're Taking an Indefinite Break, Y'all

ADHD Burnout is real, and I need to take care of me.

I’m not going to lie, the last couple of weeks have been rough.

And, as I sat here feeling generally “bleh,” I started combing through my “Snooze” folder in my email.

I read the following post:

When ADHD burnout steals your energy, then convinces you it’s your fault

Kelly has an uncanny knack for capturing the way my ADHD manifests perfectly. I mean 👩🏻‍🍳💋. As I worked my way through this piece on ADHD burnout, I found myself looking in a mirror. And what I saw startled me quite a bit.

I’ve found myself sitting here telling myself that I need to snap out of it and get back to work on my creative projects and on my business. I need to do more. That I’m never going to get to where I want to be if I don’t hustle.

I learned very quickly reading Kelly’s piece that I’m in the throes of ADHD burnout, and that attitude and those behaviors are the exact opposite of what I need right now.

I need to rest.

So, I’m going to do the hard things.

What that means for Contemplating Resonance is an indefinite pause. There will be no new newsletters or podcast episodes for the foreseeable future.

It could last a week.

It could last a month.

It could last longer.

Visibility is really low for me right now. If I could issue a “dense fog advisory” for my ability to intuit the future, now would be the time.

To all of my subscribers: thank you for being here, from number one to number 100 and beyond. I send my love, and I can’t wait to spend time with you again.

Until then, if you need to rest, rest. Give yourself the gift of listening to your mind, body, and soul.
