April 2025 wrap-up

My goal in April was to continue to take it easy:
So that’s the intention for April. Rest as a fool would… Just calmly in my corner of the internet. Doing my thing. Owning my present, for what it is. Unbothered. Moisturised. Happy. In my lane. Focused. Flourishing… soon. Maybe it’ll take the whole of April… or more. Who knows. Don’t know. Don’t care.
I think I got an A star for this for sure. For the whole month:
- I didn’t set an alarm, just woke when I woke, naturally.
- Took naps when I felt like I needed it.
- Ate well, and more. Guilty treats included.
- Took my magnesium. Restarted creatine.
- Self care was top priority.
- Continued daily exercise to maintain physical health.
- Took some alone time off last Sunday to just chill.
- Didn’t grind, or push on shipping. No stress.
- Just shipped bare minimum most days.
- Spent less time on Twitter and other socials. When I did, it was mostly just to catch some inspo.
- Continued to work all the 8h freelance hours required, but at a mindful pace.
- Fell ill with seasonal flu so maybe that’s a good sign of release from stress-induced immune suppression.
- Started planning for summer travels with wife and kid.
I think this burnout could have been long time coming. So I’m just gonna chill till my mind and body gets bored. Not sure when. But just got to trust the process.
The body knows when the body knows.
Onwards
I’m glad you’re dealing with your burnout and I wish you joyful productivity in the weeks and months to come!
