AS I sit at my kitchen table early in the morning, when I would rather be sleeping in a bit, I am reminded that I am not a superhuman.
I am suffering from Care Giver Burn Out.
Not deeply but my heart is a little heavier then I would like and I am a little tired of the shenanagans at work. Often the expectations of a support worker is to be above human emotions and triggers. We are asked to be perfect with our reactions and actions...
I will do what I need to do to get over this early onset burn out. I will breath and write and go dancing and hang out with friends and talk to people about it and I will meditate and journey and clean my soul every way I can. I will be kind to myself and give myself permission to be slow and not take on any more projects for a little while.
I will put myself back together so when I am at work my burn out does not get worse, nor does it affect the people I am supporting or working with.
But I am human...
Believe it or not.
I will use my life's training in peacekeeping and emotional transformation and meditation and spiritual and emotional releasing techniques... but I am still human.
Remember that people who care for others are human. Never think that they are more or less then anyone, even those they are supporting.
Be kind to the front line workers. Be gentle with them. Do not blame them, do not shame them, do not ask them to do more. Give them patients and respect and kindness as most front line support workers are suffering from some level of burn out.
Let us join together to be supportive to those who support others, or at least treat them as humans.
