Hope for Burn-out Victims

[MajestyJo]

Like the word scorched, how many times are we told not to touch, don't go there, and let it be, but we just have to try for ourselves.

It took a lot of spiritual healing to heal all the scars that went deep and often couldn't be seen on the outside. That extra mile, that just one more, and the obsession of things that took over our mind and body, wishing our life away instead of participating in life.

I had to build a lot of bridges that I had burned down. My brain was fried and had to wait for it to rejuvinate as a result of feeling like I needed just one more. When you overload the circuits, something has to blow. Often it was my temper, but more often than not, I internalized and it festered within and I blew from the inside out or barriers which blurred my vision, my perception, and things just shut down. They were smothered and we know that puts the flame out. It is often about what we feed our body, mind and spirit as to whether it is combustible.

We got to keep the light of hope lit, but that doesn't mean pouring on inflammable material on it. Not sure that makes sense, trying to look at it from both sides, too much or too little, instead of just enough.
